1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display screen;
a memory configured to store one or more programs; and
one or more processors coupled to the display screen and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the one or more programs to cause the electronic device to:
detect a first operation;
display, in response to the first operation, a first interface of a first application in the display screen, wherein the first interface corresponds to a first activity;
detect, on the first interface, a second operation to open a second interface of the first application, wherein the second interface corresponds to a second activity, and wherein the first activity and the second activity are different;
display, in response to the second operation, the second interface in a second area while displaying the first interface in a first area, wherein the display screen comprises at least two areas, wherein the at least two areas comprise the first area and the second area, and wherein the first area and the second area do not overlap;
detect, on the second interface, a third operation to open a third interface of the first application, wherein the third operation is a tap gesture, and wherein the third interface corresponds to a third activity;
display, in response to detecting the third operation and in response to the third activity of the third interface being the same as the second activity of the second interface, the third interface in the second area while displaying the first interface in the first area; and
simultaneously and directly display, in response to detecting the third operation and in response to the third activity of the third interface being different from the second activity of the second interface, the third interface in the second area and the second interface in the first area instead of displaying the second interface in the second area, wherein the third activity being different from the second activity comprises a level of the third interface being lower than a level of the second interface, and wherein each of the first operation, the second operation, and the third operation is a single gesture.
