    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device operates in a streaming mode to automatically stream content from the electronic device to a playback destination. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents selectable options to control playback of content on a streaming destination while the electronic device streams content to the streaming destination. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents visual indications that the electronic device is operating in a streaming mode to stream content to a playback destination. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents a user interface for controlling electronic devices that automatically reconfigures to support different user inputs and issues different commands based on the type of electronic device being controlled. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents a user interface for controlling electronic devices that automatically provides context-specific selectable options based on the content being displayed on the electronic device being controlled.

    Abstract: A computer system displays an audio settings user interface that includes a first user interface element that is activatable to change a current audio output mode of a set of one or more audio output devices. The computer system receives a second set of one or more inputs including an input directed to the first user interface element. In response, the computer system transitions the set of one or more audio output devices from a first audio output mode to a different second audio output mode. In the first audio output mode, audio is output based on a first frame of reference that is a three-dimensional physical environment surrounding the set of one or more audio output devices. In the second audio output mode, audio is output based on a different second frame of reference that is fixed relative to the set of one or more audio output devices.

    Abstract: A method performed by a first electronic device that is communicatively coupled to a wireless headset, the method includes, while engaged in a call with a second electronic device, communicating with the wireless headset via a bi-directional wireless audio connection; determining that a joint media playback session has been initiated in which the first and second electronic devices are to independently stream media content for separate playback by both of the first and second electronic devices while engaging in the call; and switching to communicate with the wireless headset via a uni-directional wireless audio connection based on a determination of one or more capabilities of the wireless headset, wherein a mix of 1) one or more signals associated with the call and 2) an audio signal of the media content is transmitted to the wireless headset over the uni-directional wireless audio connection.

    Abstract: While operating a wearable audio output device in a first mode, a computer system receives an input corresponding to a request to transition the wearable audio output device from the first mode to a noise-cancellation mode in which audio outputs that are provided via the wearable audio output device include cancellation audio components selected so as to at least partially cancel ambient sound from the physical environment. In response, if a first and second wearable audio output components of the wearable audio output device are both in-ear, the computer system transitions the wearable audio output device from the first mode to the noise-cancellation mode; and if either or both of the first and second wearable audio output components is not in-ear, the computer system forgoes transitioning the wearable audio output device from the first mode to the noise-cancellation mode.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a user device can predictively route media content to a remote playback device based on playback context information obtained by the user device. The playback context can include local playback context information related to the state and/or context of the user device. The playback context can include remote playback context information related to the state and/or context of available remote playback devices. Based on the playback context information obtained by the user device, the user device can generate a predictive score for each available playback device that indicates or predicts the likelihood that the user will want to send media content to the corresponding playback device. The user device can generate and present a graphical user interface that can identify the playback devices having predictive scores over a threshold score. In some instances, the user device can automatically route selected media content to a predicted playback device.

    Abstract: A computer system detects an occurrence of a respective event. In response, and in accordance with a determination that a first wearable audio output component of a wearable audio output device is at least partially in a first ear of the user and that a second wearable audio output component of the wearable audio output device is at least partially in a second ear of the user, the computer system displays acoustic seal information for the wearable audio output device, including concurrently displaying, via the display device: a first indication of a quality of a first acoustic seal between the first wearable audio output component and the first ear of the user; and a second indication, distinct from the first indication, of a quality of a second acoustic seal between the second wearable audio output component and the second ear of the user.
