1. A method implemented by an electronic device, wherein the method comprises:
displaying, on a display of the electronic device, a first interface comprising an application interface of a first application;
receiving, from a user, a first slide gesture that goes from a first point to a second point, wherein the first point is in a first area located on a first edge of the display, and wherein the second point is on the display and outside the first area;
displaying, in response to the first slide gesture, an identifier on the first edge, wherein a straight-line distance between the second point and the first point is greater than or equal to a first threshold and less than a second threshold;
displaying, on the display based on the identifier and in response to detecting that the first slide gesture meets a first condition, a second interface in place of the first interface wherein the first condition comprises that a first touch point of the user leaves the display when the first slide gesture goes to the second point;
displaying, on the first edge and in response to detecting that the first slide gesture meets a second condition, a first application bar comprising N1 application icons, wherein N1 is a positive integer, and wherein the second condition comprises that a duration for which a second touch point of the user stays at the second point is greater than or equal to a first duration threshold when the first slide gesture goes to the second point;
receiving, from the user when displaying the first application bar, a second slide gesture on the first application bar; and
displaying, on the first edge and in response to the second slide gesture, a second application bar comprising N2 application icons, wherein N2 is a positive integer and greater than N1.
