Abstract

This application provides a cross-device object drag method and a device, and relates to the field of electronic devices. This improves usage efficiency of collaborative use of a plurality of terminals, makes drag more direct and explicit, and improves user experience in drag. A specific solution is as follows: A first terminal displays an object on a display of the first terminal. The first terminal receives a drag operation input by a user. The drag operation is used to initiate drag for the object. The first terminal displays, on the display of the first terminal in response to the drag operation, an animation in which the object moves with the drag operation. The first terminal sends drag data to a second terminal after determining that a drag intent of the user is cross-device drag. The drag data is used by the second terminal to display the object on a display of the second terminal.
