The present invention provides for assisting a user in efficiently interacting with a mobile device by providing a persistent graphical user interface, e.g., a sidebar tile. This persistent user interface allows direct exposure to the mobile device without requiring the user to launch or open an application for interacting with the mobile device. Further this persistent user interface may include state or status information for attributes or features of a mobile device, e.g., battery power, ringer volume, signal strength, etc., which may be represented as objects or bar parts. These objects that show status may be automatically updated for providing a useful visual representation showing the current state of the features. Further, the persistent user interface may include objects representing the functionality of the mobile device, e.g., configuration, ringer volume, making a call, etc., which provides for easy accessibility at a single entry point for interacting with the mobile device.
