A method, comprising: by an electronic device having one or more motion sensors: receiving an indication of an event; in response to receiving the indication, providing an event notification at the electronic device; while providing the event notification: receiving data, from the one or more motion sensors, representing a user input; determining, based on the data representing the user input, whether the user input corresponds to movement of the electronic device satisfying a predetermined condition of a wrist raise, wherein the predetermined condition is satisfied based on an amount of a lifting of the electronic device to a lifted position during a time interval, the amount of the lifting determined from an accelerometer of the electronic device, and the electronic device remaining in the lifted position for a minimum period of dwell time; in accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to movement of the electronic device satisfying the predetermined condition of the wrist raise, modifying the event notification while continuing to provide the event notification, wherein the event notification includes a haptic notification and modifying the event notification includes varying, increasing, or decreasing motion of the haptic notification; and in accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to lifting of the electronic device to the lifted position but does not correspond to movement of the electronic device satisfying the predetermined condition because the electronic device does not remain in the lifted position for the minimum period of dwell time, forgoing modification of the event notification. receiving an indication of an event; in response to receiving the indication, providing an event notification at the electronic device; while providing the event notification: receiving data, from the one or more motion sensors, representing a user input; determining, based on the data representing the user input, whether the user input corresponds to movement of the electronic device satisfying a predetermined condition of a wrist raise, wherein the predetermined condition is satisfied based on an amount of a lifting of the electronic device to a lifted position during a time interval, the amount of the lifting determined from an accelerometer of the electronic device, and the electronic device remaining in the lifted position for a minimum period of dwell time; in accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to movement of the electronic device satisfying the predetermined condition of the wrist raise, modifying the event notification while continuing to provide the event notification, wherein the event notification includes a haptic notification and modifying the event notification includes varying, increasing, or decreasing motion of the haptic notification; and in accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to lifting of the electronic device to the lifted position but does not correspond to movement of the electronic device satisfying the predetermined condition because the electronic device does not remain in the lifted position for the minimum period of dwell time, forgoing modification of the event notification. receiving data, from the one or more motion sensors, representing a user input; determining, based on the data representing the user input, whether the user input corresponds to movement of the electronic device satisfying a predetermined condition of a wrist raise, wherein the predetermined condition is satisfied based on an amount of a lifting of the electronic device to a lifted position during a time interval, the amount of the lifting determined from an accelerometer of the electronic device, and the electronic device remaining in the lifted position for a minimum period of dwell time; in accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to movement of the electronic device satisfying the predetermined condition of the wrist raise, modifying the event notification while continuing to provide the event notification, wherein the event notification includes a haptic notification and modifying the event notification includes varying, increasing, or decreasing motion of the haptic notification; and in accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to lifting of the electronic device to the lifted position but does not correspond to movement of the electronic device satisfying the predetermined condition because the electronic device does not remain in the lifted position for the minimum period of dwell time, forgoing modification of the event notification.
