Abstract

A method for limiting usage of an application on a mobile terminal is provided. In an implementation, a usage limitation condition is preset for the application, where the usage limitation condition includes at least one of a geographical location, a time, and a network condition of the mobile terminal. A current operation environment corresponding to the usage limitation condition is obtained in response to receiving an input operation of a user. Usage of the application is limited when the operation environment meets the usage limitation condition, and the application is normally used when the operation environment does not meet the usage limitation condition.
