1 . An activity time information display method executed by a computer device, wherein the computer device comprises at least one processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions included in a memory, the activity time information display method comprising:

receiving, by the at least one processor, a user request for activity time information of a chatroom related to an instant messenger from a user of the computer device for the chatroom related to the instant messenger; and

displaying, by the at least one processor, the activity time information of the chatroom on a chatroom-related screen of the chatroom in response to the user request,

wherein the displaying of the activity time information comprises displaying a member activity timeline during a period of time that includes a member activity peak time on a cover screen of the chatroom, in response to the user request being input on the cover screen on the chatroom-related screen.

2 . The activity time information display method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining the activity time information based on a member activity pattern of the chatroom.
