7. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

in response to a start of the dragging operation, displaying the map; and

in response to an end of the dragging operation, canceling the displaying the map.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the determining the target position based on the ending position of the dragging operation on the map comprises:

determining the ending position indicating a selection of the first icon representing the second electronic device; and

determining a position of the second electronic device in the virtual interaction scene as the target position.

9. The method according to claim 5 , wherein in response to the ending position indicating a selection of the first icon representing the second electronic device:

the second instruction further causes the second electronic device to display identification information of the second electronic device as a recipient.

10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a message based on the target piece of message template and a relationship between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second electronic device is a teammate of the first electronic device in the virtual interaction scene.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second instruction further causes the second electronic device to display the second target prompt information in a mini-map.

13. An electronic device acting as a first electronic device participating in a virtual interaction scene, the electronic device comprising a memory and a processor, computer-readable instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to perform a method for displaying prompt information including:

displaying a messaging interface in response to an operation on a session template information identifier in the virtual interaction scene, the messaging interface containing at least one piece of message template;

detecting a selection operation at a location within the messaging interface corresponding to a target piece of message template of the at least one piece of message template;

while the selection operation corresponding to the at least one piece of message template is being continued:

detecting a drag operation starting from the location within the messaging interface corresponding to the target piece of message template of the at least one piece of message template;

in response to the drag operation:

displaying a map of the virtual interaction scene in replacement of the messaging interface, the map including a first icon representing a second electronic device participating in the virtual interaction scene and a second icon representing a third electronic device participating in the virtual interaction scene;

in response to a termination of the drag operation within the map:

determining an ending position of the drag operation in the map;

determining a corresponding location in the virtual interaction scene mapping to the ending position of the drag operation in the map;
