[0036] In one embodiment, specifically, the application control method provided in this embodiment can quickly obtain application usage information by obtaining application usage information corresponding to an application list before entering a display interface corresponding to the application list, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent control of the application based on the application usage information.

[0037] In one embodiment, in step S1: obtaining application usage information corresponding to the application list in the terminal interface or folder, it may include but is not limited to: obtaining application usage information associated with the application list in the terminal interface after the terminal startup operation is performed. For example, after the terminal is powered on, the application usage information associated with the application list corresponding to the terminal interface is obtained. Therefore, the application control method provided in this embodiment can obtain the application usage information associated with the application list after powering on or restarting, so as to automatically control the application in the application list according to the application usage information.

[0038] In one implementation, in step S1: obtaining application usage information corresponding to an application list in a terminal interface or folder, it may include but is not limited to: obtaining application usage information associated with the application list after clearing background applications.
