1Measurement precision
If the terminal device displays selection interfaces for choosing between application icons and clone application icons during content sharing and return operations, then the user can accurately select the target application or clone application, but the user needs to perform multiple operations and the process becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system records the source application clone information before the user performs content sharing or return operations. When the user completes an operation in a target application or clone application, the system automatically retrieves the recorded source application clone information and directly returns to that specific application clone without requiring the user to manually select from multiple icons, thereby reducing operational steps while maintaining accurate navigation
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an automatic return mechanism that acts as an intermediary between the user's operation and the application switching process. This mechanism automatically matches the current application with the recorded source application clone information and performs the return operation, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate through selection interfaces while ensuring accurate return to the intended application
2Reliability
If the terminal device requires users to select application icons from interfaces containing both application icons and clone application icons, then the user can distinguish between different applications and clones, but the operation process becomes time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-records the source application clone information before the user performs content sharing or return operations. When the user completes an operation in a target application or clone application, the system automatically retrieves the recorded source application clone information and directly returns to that specific application clone without requiring the user to manually select from multiple icons, thereby reducing operational steps while maintaining accurate navigation
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables the user to skip the manual selection interface by automatically matching the current application with the recorded source application clone information. The automatic return mechanism directly transitions between applications based on pre-recorded information, allowing users to rush through the switching process without stopping at selection interfaces, thus significantly reducing switching time while ensuring correct application identification

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide an application clone-based interface display method and a related apparatus, and relate to the field of terminal technologies. The method includes: A terminal device displays a first interface at a first moment, where the first interface includes first content of a first application clone, an icon of a second application, and an icon of a second application clone; the terminal device receives a first operation for the icon of the second application clone; the terminal device displays a second interface based on the first operation, where the second interface includes a first control, and the second interface is an interface of the second application clone; the terminal device receives a second operation for the first control at a second moment; and the terminal device displays a third interface in response to the second operation, where the third interface is an interface of the first application clone, the second moment is later than the first moment, and a time interval between the second moment and the first moment is less than or equal to first preset duration. In this way, an operation process of jumping from the second application clone to the first application clone is simplified, so that user experience is improved.
