Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a positioning method and a communications device. The method includes: receiving, by a first communications device, a first positioning request, where the first positioning request includes an identifier of a to-be-positioned communications device, and the first positioning request is used to request position information of the to-be-positioned communications device; and obtaining, by the first communications device, the position information of the to-be-positioned communications device according to the identifier of the to-be-positioned communications device by using a short-range wireless communications technology. Therefore, it is implemented that the first communications device can obtain position information of another communications device.
