    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to providing a contextual call notification. An electronic device receives an indication of an incoming voice communication associated with a caller. The electronic device obtains contextual information that is indicative of a likely intent of the caller and is distinct from an identity of the caller. In response to receiving the indication, the electronic device displays a notification that represents the voice communication. While displaying the notification, the electronic device detects a user input. In response to detecting the user input, the electronic device, in accordance with a determination that the user input includes a request to accept the incoming voice communication, establishes a voice communication session between the user and the caller, and, in accordance with a determination that the user input does not include a request to accept the incoming voice communication, forgoes establishing a voice communication session.

    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a cellular network which facilitates transmission of messages, such as SMS or MMS messages, to/from respective user equipment (UE) devices of a user. Each of the UE devices may provide a relative priority value indicating a priority for receipt of messages relative to the other UE devices associated with the user. When a message intended for the user is received at the cellular network, the priority information associated with each of the user's at least two UE devices may be retrieved. The message may then be selectively delivered (by the cellular network) to one of the first UE device or the second UE device based on the relative values of the first priority value and the second priority value. If a delivery attempt fails to the highest priority device, the cellular network may attempt to deliver the message to the second highest priority UE device.
