and displaying, in response to the second user operation, a fourth viewing window obtained by widening the second viewing window, wherein a width of the first interface in the fourth viewing window is greater than a width of the first interface in the second viewing window, and a width of the second interface in the fourth viewing window is equal to a width of the second interface in the second viewing window. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method according to claim 7, wherein the first interface in the second viewing window is located on a left side of the second interface, and the second user operation comprises one of: a user operation of sliding leftward with a left edge of the second viewing window as a second start point; a user operation of sliding rightward with a drag bar that is in the second viewing window and that is located between the first interface and the second interface as the second start point; or a user operation performed on a first control in the first interface. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method according to claim 7, wherein a width of the first interface and a width of the second interface in the second viewing window are equal, and the width of the first interface is greater than the width of the second interface in the fourth viewing window. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The method according to claim 7, wherein the displaying a fourth viewing window obtained by widening the second viewing window comprises: displaying, in full screen, the fourth viewing window obtained by widening the second viewing window. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The method according to claim 7, wherein the method further comprises: receiving a third user operation, wherein the third user operation is used to widen the fourth viewing window; and displaying, in full screen in response to the third user operation, a fifth viewing window obtained by widening the fourth viewing window. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The method according to claim 7, wherein the method further comprises: receiving a fourth user operation, wherein the fourth user operation is used to widen the first interface in the fourth viewing window; and displaying the first interface in full screen in response to the fourth user operation. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, wherein the method further comprises: receiving a fifth user operation, wherein the fifth user operation is used to narrow the fifth viewing window; and displaying, in response to the fifth user operation, a sixth viewing window obtained by narrowing the fifth viewing window. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises: receiving a sixth user operation, wherein the sixth user operation is used to narrow the first interface in the second viewing window; and displaying, in response to the sixth user operation, a seventh viewing window obtained by narrowing the second viewing window, wherein a width of the first interface in the seventh viewing window is less than a width of the first interface in the second viewing window, and a width of the second interface in the seventh viewing window is equal to a width of the second interface in the second viewing window. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises: receiving a seventh user operation, wherein the seventh user operation is used to narrow the second viewing window; and displaying an eighth viewing window in response to the seventh user operation, wherein the eighth viewing window comprises the first interface or the second interface. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises: receiving an eighth user operation, wherein the eighth user operation is used to narrow the first viewing window; and displaying a second control in response to the eighth user operation. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the displaying a second viewing window comprises: displaying the second viewing window when the first application supports an app multiplier mode; and the method further comprises: displaying a ninth viewing window in response to the first user operation when the first application does not support the app multiplier mode, wherein the ninth viewing window is obtained by zooming in the first viewing window proportionally, and the ninth viewing window comprises the first interface. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the displaying a second viewing window comprises: displaying the second viewing window when the first application does not support a resize function; and the method further comprises: displaying a tenth viewing window in response to the first user operation when the first application supports the resize function, wherein the tenth viewing window is obtained by widening the first viewing window based on the resize function, and the tenth viewing window comprises the first interface. ### Claim 19 An electronic device, comprising a transceiver, at least one processor, and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one memory stores programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to cause the electronic device to perform: displaying a first viewing window, wherein the first viewing window comprises a first interface of a first application; receiving a first user operation, wherein the first user operation is used to widen the first viewing window; and displaying a second viewing window in response to the first user operation, wherein the second viewing window comprises the first interface and a second interface of the first application. ### Claim 20 A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by an apparatus, cause the apparatus to perform: displaying a first viewing window, wherein the first viewing window comprises a first interface of a first application; receiving a first user operation, wherein the first user operation is used to widen the first viewing window; and displaying a second viewing window in response to the first user operation, wherein the second viewing window comprises the first interface and a second interface of the first application.
