FIG. 5P shows content 526 displayed in content region 510 and text 528 displayed adjacent to device status bar 502, without application input field 508. FIG. 5P also shows device 100 detecting a gesture (e.g., a swipe gesture) that includes contact 556 moving in direction 558, which is a horizontal direction. A horizontal gesture (or substantially horizontal gesture), such as the gesture performed with contact 556, navigates amongst content within a content sequence (e.g., a browsing history); the horizontal gesture performs the same function as a back or forward control in control bar 512. In response to detecting the gesture performed with contact 556, device 100 navigates to subsequent content in the content sequence, as shown in FIG. 5Q. For example, in FIG. 5Q the subsequent content is content 560, which is a page with search results for the search terms “grilled cheese.” Application status bar 506 and application input text 508 are re-displayed, with text 562 corresponding to the search terms “grilled cheese” displayed in application input field 508. Text 528 and content 526 are no longer displayed.
