Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 56:
57. A method, comprising:
at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices:
detecting, via the one or more input devices, a user input corresponding to a request to communicate via satellite communication;
in response to detecting the user input:
displaying, via the display generation component, an alignment element, including:
in accordance with a determination that the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with one or more satellites, displaying the alignment element with a first alignment appearance that indicates the computer system is not aligned properly for communication with the one or more satellites and includes a graphical indication; and

while displaying the alignment element, displaying the alignment element with an animation that includes:
a graphical representation of a satellite;
a graphical representation of the computer system; and
a graphical representation of a signal moving between the graphical representation of the satellite and the graphical representation of the computer system over time;

while displaying the alignment element with the first alignment appearance, detecting a change in orientation of a predetermined portion of the computer system;
in response to detecting the change in orientation of the predetermined portion of the computer system, changing an appearance of the alignment element;
after detecting the user input corresponding to the request to communicate via satellite communication and in accordance with a determination that the computer system is able to communicate via terrestrial communication:
ceasing display of the alignment element; and
displaying a selectable terrestrial communication option;

while displaying the selectable terrestrial communication option, detecting selection of the selectable terrestrial communication option; and
in response to detecting selection of the selectable terrestrial communication option, initiating a process that includes communication via the terrestrial communication.
