Abstract

The present disclosure provides a message viewing method and a terminal, where the method includes: receiving a first input; and in response to the first input, displaying a message display screen, where in a case that there is an unread message of at least one application, the message display screen includes at least one display window, or if there is no unread message, the message display screen does not include the display window; and each of the display window(s) is used to display at least part of unread messages of one application.

Claims (60)

1. A method for viewing unread messages, comprising:

receiving a first input;

in response to the first input, displaying a message display screen, wherein:

the message display screen comprises at least one display window when at least one application of a plurality of applications has an unread message; and

the message display screen comprises no display windows when the plurality of applications have no unread messages;

displaying, in the message display screen, at least two display windows in a stacked manner, wherein:

a first window of the at least two display windows corresponds to a first application of the plurality of applications and is used for displaying only unread messages of the first application; and

a second window of the at least two windows corresponds to a second application of the plurality of applications and is used for displaying only unread messages of the second application;

displaying in the first display window at least part of at least one unread message of the first application; and

displaying in the second display window at least part of at least one unread message of the second application.

2. The method according to claim 1 , after displaying the message display screen, further comprising:

receiving a second input for a first display window, wherein the first display window is one of the at least one display window; and

in response to the second input, displaying, on the message display screen, a message details screen corresponding to the first display window, wherein the message details screen is used to display, in their entireties, the unread messages of the application corresponding to the first display window.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the message details screen is further used to display a read historical message of the application corresponding to the first display window.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after displaying the message display screen, the method further comprises:

receiving a third input; and

in response to the third input, switching a second display window displayed at a topmost layer of the message display screen to a third display window, wherein the second display window and the third display window are two different display windows of the at least two display windows.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the message display screen further displays an operation control list, and operation controls in the operation control list are in one-to-one correspondence to all display windows currently comprised in the message display screen; and

the third input is an input for an operation control corresponding to the third display window.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the unread messages are rendered by using a quick application as a basic render unit and using a message card as a display format, and the quick application is a tap-and-play type application.

7. A terminal, comprising a memory storing a computer program and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the computer program to perform a method for viewing unread messages, the method comprising:

receiving a first input;

in response to the first input, displaying a message display screen, wherein:

the message display screen comprises at least one display window when at least one application of a plurality of applications has an unread message; and

the message display screen comprises no display windows when the plurality of applications have no unread messages;

displaying, in the message display screen, at least two display windows in a stacked manner, wherein:

a first window of the at least two display windows corresponds to a first application of the plurality of applications and is used for displaying only unread messages of the first application; and

a second window of the at least two windows corresponds to a second application of the plurality of applications and is used for displaying only unread messages of the second application;

displaying in the first display window at least part of at least one unread message of the first application; and

displaying in the second display window at least part of at least one unread message of the second application.

8. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the method, after displaying the message display screen, further comprises:

receiving a second input for a first display window, wherein the first display window is one of the at least one display window; and

in response to the second input, displaying, on the message display screen, a message details screen corresponding to the first display window, wherein the message details screen is used to display, in their entireties, the unread messages of the application corresponding to the first display window.

9. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the message details screen is further used to display a read historical message of the application corresponding to the first display window.

10. The terminal according to claim 7 , windows wherein the method, after displaying the message display screen, further comprises:

receiving a third input; and

in response to the third input, switching a second display window displayed at a topmost layer of the message display screen to a third display window, wherein the second display window and the third display window are two different display windows of the at least two display windows.

11. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein the message display screen further displays an operation control list, and operation controls in the operation control list are in one-to-one correspondence to all display windows currently comprised in the message display screen; and

the third input is an input for an operation control corresponding to the third display window.

12. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the unread messages are rendered by using a quick application as a basic render unit and using a message card as a display format, and the quick application is a tap-and-play type application.

13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing a computer program, when the computer program is executed by a processor, performs a method for viewing unread messages, the method comprising:

receiving a first input;

in response to the first input, displaying a message display screen, wherein:

the message display screen comprises at least one display window when at least one application of a plurality of applications has an unread message; and

the message display screen comprises no display windows when the plurality of applications have no unread messages;

displaying, in the message display screen, at least two display windows in a stacked manner, wherein:

a first window of the at least two display windows corresponds to a first application of the plurality of applications and is used for displaying only unread messages of the first application; and
