The disclosed embodiments provide a system that activates an electronic device. The system includes an activation server that receives an activation request from the electronic device. Upon detecting, based on the activation request, that the electronic device requires a regulatory update, the activation server adds the regulatory update to an activation payload for the electronic device. Finally, the activation server transmits the activation payload to the electronic device.

In some implementations, a computing device can be configured to automatically turn off notifications when generating a notification would cause a disturbance or be unwanted by a user. The device can be configured with quiet hours during which notifications that would otherwise be generated by the computing device can be suppressed. In some implementations, quiet hours can be configured as a time period with a start time and an end time. In some implementations, quiet hours can be derived from application data. For example, calendar data, alarm clock data, map data, etc. can be used to determine when quiet hours should be enforced. In some implementations, the device can be configured with exceptions to quiet hour notification suppression. In some implementations, the user can identify contacts to which the quiet hours notification suppression should not be applied.

This relates to allowing a computer system using a single pointing device to simulate multi-point gesture inputs. Simulating software can receive single pointing inputs (such as, for example, input from a mouse) and convert them to simulated multi-point gesture inputs such as finger pinches, reverse pinches, translations, rotation, and the like. The simulating software can also allow the user to use keyboard keys to give the user additional control when generating the multi-point gesture inputs.

The present disclosure generally relates to transaction user interfaces. In some examples, a user is notified if there is an error with transaction parameters and the device determines whether potentially compatible transaction parameters are available on the electronic device. In some examples, the user is notified if there is an error with transaction parameters and the user is prompted to use another device to enter new transaction information.

An electronic device displays a messaging user interface of a messaging application, including a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and another user, a message-input area, and a representation corresponding to the other user. In response to detecting a first user input corresponding to the representation of the other user, a menu is displayed that contains an activatable menu item for initiating a payment action with the other user. While displaying the menu, in response to detecting a second user input corresponding to the activatable menu item for initiating a payment action with the first other user, a user interface configured to initiate sending of payment to, and/or requesting payment from, the first other user is displayed.

A system for provisioning credentials onto an electronic device is provided. The system may include a payment network subsystem, a service provider subsystem, a primary user device, and a secondary user device. The user may select a particular payment card to provision onto the secondary user device by providing an input at the primary user device. A broker module running on the service provider subsystem may then transfer a disabled pass to the secondary user device. Concurrently, the payment network subsystem may direct a trusted service manager module on the service provider subsystem to write credential information onto a secure element within the secondary user device. Once the secure element has been updated, the broker module may provide an activated pass to the secondary user device so that the secondary user device can be used to perform NFC-based financial transactions at a merchant terminal.

The present disclosure generally relates selecting an appropriate communication radio mode based on criteria. In one example process, the device detects a fingerprint using the integrated biometric sensor and, in accordance with a determination that the fingerprint is consistent with an enrolled fingerprint and a determination that a set of one or more criteria is met, transitions to a second short-range communication radio mode different from a first short-range communication radio mode. In another example process, the device detects a fingerprint using the integrated biometric sensor and, in accordance with a determination that the fingerprint is consistent with the enrolled fingerprint and a determination that the set of one or more criteria is not met, the device is unlocked.

The present disclosure relates to making payments with a mobile device. In one example process, the mobile device receives and stores information for one or more payment accounts on the mobile device. The mobile device is used to make payments using the payment accounts. In some examples, authorization to proceed with a payment is performed before each purchase made by the user. The authorization process can include receiving a verification of the user, such as a fingerprint scan or passcode. In some examples, a payment account is selected from among available payment accounts. In some examples, an indication is displayed of a digital item associated with a purchased item. In some examples, a payment transaction is initiated with participants of an ongoing communication. In some examples, an application of a retailer is invoked based on the availability of the application. In some examples, a purchase recommendation is provided.
