Abstract: A device implementing a system to render widget user interfaces for display of dynamic application content on a home screen includes a processor configured to identify a container associated with a first home screen, the container corresponding to an application. The processor is further configured to retrieve data describing a plurality of user interfaces, associated with respective times, of the application. The processor is further configured to render, based on the data, the plurality of the user interfaces in advance of the respective times. The processor is further configured to determine that the first home screen is currently displayed. The processor is further configured to select a first rendered user interface from the rendered user interfaces, wherein the respective time associated with the first rendered user interface corresponds to a current time. The processor is further configured to display the selected first rendered user interface on the first home screen.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a software-based privacy indicator for a camera and microphone that focuses not purely on hardware status (e.g., on or off), but on whether potentially private data is flowing to the system or an application. If based purely on hardware status, the indicator for an electronic device may be shown in scenarios where no data actually flows to the system or applications. The privacy indicator will be enabled if any camera or microphone data is relayed to the operating system or an application that is executed via the operating system. When the device uses the microphone and camera to capture environmental metadata about the surroundings of the device without providing any audio samples, images, or video frames to the system or an application, the privacy indicator will not be enabled.

Abstract: A device implementing a system to provide an application library for application discovery includes a processor configured to update an application library including ordered lists of installed applications grouped into a respective plurality of application categories. The updating may be based on an application usage history of a device. The processor is further configured to receive a first user input to open an application library user interface corresponding to the application library. The processor is further configured to display, in response to the first user input, a plurality of application launch interfaces, each of the plurality of application launch interfaces corresponding to a respective one of the ordered lists of installed applications grouped into the respective plurality of application categories within the application library user interface.
