The device concurrently displays (602), on the display, a device status region and an application user interface that includes a content region for displaying application content and an application input field for accepting input for the application. In some embodiments, the device status region is a persistent device status region that displays device status information (e.g., time, battery status, network connection status, and/or signal strength) across a plurality of different applications. For example,
While concurrently displaying the device status region and the application user interface, the device receives (604) a first input in the application input field (e.g., the input includes entering text that corresponds to a universal resource locator address or search terms and instructing the application to navigate to the address or perform a search using the search terms).
