Abstract: An information content viewing method includes displaying, by a terminal, a first lock screen or keeps in a screen-off state, and displaying, by the terminal, a second lock screen after receiving first information, where the second lock screen displays a first control, and the first control prompts that content of the first information is hidden, receiving, by the terminal, a first operation of a user on a touchscreen, and collecting and verifying, by the terminal, fingerprint information of the user based on the first operation and displaying, by the terminal, a third lock screen after the verification on the fingerprint information succeeds, where the third lock screen displays the first control, and the first control displays the content of the first information.

Abstract: An application control method includes detecting, by a terminal, a user operation that is based on an application icon, where an application represented by the application icon has at least one associated function, and starting, by the terminal in response to the user operation, an associated function corresponding to the user operation, where the associated function corresponding to the user operation belongs to the at least one associated function. The at least one associated function of the application includes at least one of an associated application of the application, a function provided by the application, a system function associated with the application, or a twin application of the application.
