Certainly, the fourth input may also be other possible inputs, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

S106. In response to the fourth input, the icon display device updates and displays the first interface as the second interface in the second mode, and displays the first icon in the first atomic component of the second interface.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, for the electronic device to update and display from the first interface to the second interface, in essence, the electronic device is actually switched from the first mode to the second mode. Further, since the second mode includes M atomic components, and each atomic component is used to associate one icon group in the M icon groups, when the user triggers to update and display the first interface as the second interface in the second mode , displaying the icon in the atomic component corresponding to the icon group in the second interface.

Exemplarily, referring to the above-mentioned FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , when the mobile phone displays the icon of the application M in the icon group 03 , the user can click on the "deformer" control. After the mobile phone receives the user's click input on the "deformer" control, in response to the input, the mobile phone updates and displays the first interface as an interface of the atomic component desktop mode as shown in Figure 4, and the interface includes The icon of the application M is displayed in the atomic component 05 .

In the icon display method provided by the embodiment of the present application, after the user triggers the addition of the first application program indicated by the first icon in the first atomic component in the second mode, the user can trigger the update display of the first interface as the first The second interface of the second mode, and display the first icon in the first atomic component of the second interface. In this way, after the user can drag the icon of the interface in the first desktop mode to the icon group in the floating window to trigger synchronization and add the icon to the atomic component in the second mode, the user can trigger the interface from the first mode Switch to the second mode, and quickly find the newly added icon in the atomic component of the second mode, and the icons associated with the atomic component increase.
