1. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface and a display:
displaying, on the display, a first user interface that corresponds to a first application;
detecting a first gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the first gesture includes movement of a single contact in a respective direction on the touch-sensitive surface; and
in response to detecting the first gesture:
in accordance with a determination that the movement of the single contact is in a first direction, replacing display of the first user interface with display of a second user interface that corresponds to a second application; and
in accordance with a determination that the movement of the single contact is in a second direction, distinct from the first direction, displaying a first system user interface for interacting with a system-level function, wherein the first direction is substantially perpendicular to the second direction;
while displaying an application launch user interface, the application launch user interface comprising a system user interface, detecting a second gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the second gesture includes movement of a single contact on the touch-sensitive surface:
in accordance with a determination that the movement of the single contact in the second gesture is in the same first direction, replacing the application launch user interface with a third user interface of a respective application;
while displaying the first system user interface, detecting a third gesture that includes movement of a single contact in the second direction; and
in response to detecting the third gesture, replacing the first system user interface at least partially with a second system user interface for interacting with a different system-level function.
