The electronic device 100 also runs other application programs, for example, the application 108 in the background, messages of other applications may be displayed in the graphical interface shown in fig. 1 (a), see fig. 1 (b), the application 108 reports a message, and the user may directly click the message to enter the interface shown in fig. 1 (d), or the user clicks the control center control 110 to enter the graphical interface shown in fig. 1 (c), fig. 1 (c) shows windows of all applications run by the electronic device 100, for example, a window of the application 106 and a window of the application 108, and the user may click the window of the application 108, and the electronic device 100 enters the application interface shown in fig. 1 (d) in response to the user's click operation to view the message reported by the application 108.

It can be found that after the user views the message of the application 108, the content of the application 106 browsed by the user is interrupted and covered, and when the user views the messages reported by a plurality of applications, the user needs to repeatedly click the control center control 110 to switch to a specific application to view the message, which is tedious in process, so that the user experience is poor.

Referring to fig. 2 (a) - (c), a graphical interface of a display method of an application provided in the related art is specifically referred to.

Referring to fig. 2 (a), the electronic device 100 is displaying a graphical interface of an application 106, illustratively, the application 106 is an application for chatting, and the user 102 and the user 104 are in video chat. The electronic device also runs other application programs, for example, the application 108 in the background, and messages of other applications can be displayed in the graphical interface shown in fig. 2 (a), see fig. 2 (b), the application 108 reports a message in the menu bar 202, and the user can directly slide down, bring up a pull-down menu, and click the reported message, thereby entering the interface shown in fig. 2 (c), in fig. 2, the window of the application 108 is slightly smaller than the window of the application 106, the user can directly operate in the window of the application 108, and when the user does not use the window of the application 108, the user can click the delete 204 key to close the window of the application 108, thereby continuing to browse the window of the application 106, i.e., returning to the interface shown in fig. 2 (a).

However, in this solution, when the application 108 reports the message again, the menu bar needs to be pulled down again for display, which is tedious to operate, and the window of the application 108 is slightly smaller than the window of the application 106, which still shields the window of the application 106, and thus the display effect is poor and the user experience effect is poor.
