• displaying a program corner mark in a case that an unread message is received through a target application;
• receiving a first input performed by a user on the program corner mark;
• displaying an information window in response to the first input, wherein the information window comprises an identifier of a target contact, the target contact is a contact meeting a preset condition in contacts corresponding to the unread message, and the preset condition is associated with an input direction of the first input;
• receiving a second input performed by the user on the identifier of the target contact;
• and
• starting the target application in response to the second input, and displaying a user interface of the target application, wherein the user interface comprises message content corresponding to the identifier of the target contact.
