Display method for watch-face interface and electronic device

An electronic device acquires a first expression image of a user in response to a first trigger operation and obtains a target image. Then, the electronic device sends an image generation request to a server. The image generation request includes the target image and initial expression information of the first expression image. The server generates a dynamic-effect file corresponding to the target image in response to the image generation request. The dynamic-effect file includes a dynamic-effect image obtained by rendering the target image based on the initial expression information. The server sends the dynamic-effect file to the wearable device. The wearable device displays a corresponding watch-face interface based on an acquired second expression image after detecting a second trigger operation. The watch-face interface includes the dynamic-effect image that matches an expression type of the second expression image.
