    Abstract: A method includes while displaying a drawing user interface, detecting an object insertion input and, in response, inserting a respective object in the drawing user interface. The method includes, while displaying the respective object, detecting a pixel erase input, and, in response, ceasing to display a first portion of the respective object without ceasing to display second and third portions of the respective object. The method includes detecting an object erase input directed to a portion of the respective object, and, in response, when the object erase input is directed to the second portion and the second portion is not connected to the third portion, ceasing to display the second portion, but not the third portion; and when the object erase input is directed to the third portion and the third portion is not connected to the second portion, ceasing to display the third portion, but not the second portion.

    Abstract: An electronic device displays content of a first content item, wherein the first content item is one of a sequence of content items. The device detects a user input that includes movement of a contact in a respective direction on the touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the user input: in accordance with a determination that the user input meets item-switching criteria, the device replaces display of the first content item with display of a second content item in the sequence of content items, wherein the item-switching criteria include a criterion that is met when a characteristic intensity of the contact is above a first intensity threshold; and, in accordance with a determination that the user input does not meet the item-switching criteria, the device navigates through the content of the first content item in accordance with the movement of the contact.
