1. A method, comprising:
receiving, from a user, a first operation of enabling a first application on a flexible display of a terminal, wherein the flexible display is in a first physical state;
obtaining display layout information of the first application indicating a display aspect ratio supported by the first application when displaying;
detecting whether the first application supports displaying any aspect ratio;
displaying, based on the display layout information, based on a first effective display area on the flexible display in the first physical state, and based on whether the first application supports displaying any aspect ratio, an application window of the first application in the first effective display area by:
displaying, based on a first aspect ratio of the first effective display area, the application window in a full screen in the first effective display area when the first application supports displaying any aspect ratio;
displaying, based on the first aspect ratio of the first effective display area, the application window in the full screen in the first effective display area when the display aspect ratio is not less than the first aspect ratio of the first effective display area, wherein the display aspect ratio is a maximum display aspect ratio supported by the first application; and
displaying, based on the display aspect ratio, the application window in a third area when the display aspect ratio is less than the first aspect ratio, wherein the third area is located in the first effective display area, and wherein the display aspect ratio is the maximum display aspect ratio supported by the first application;
detecting that the flexible display is switched from the first physical state to a second physical state; and
displaying, in response to detecting that the flexible display is switched from the first physical state to the second physical state, the application window in a second effective display area on the flexible display,
wherein the second effective display area is different from the first effective display area.
