Abstract

The present disclosure, pertaining to the field of terminal technologies, relates to a method and apparatus for recommending contact information. The method may include: determining an age of an owner of a mobile terminal; determining, based on the determined age of the owner and stored contact photos of a plurality of contacts, a candidate contact from the plurality of contacts; and displaying, in response to receiving a share instruction with respect to a designated image, contact information of the determined candidate contact, the designated image being any image in a photo album to be shared. According to the present disclosure, one or more candidate contacts are determined from a plurality of contacts, and upon receipt of a share instruction with respect to a designated image, contact information of the determined candidate contact is displayed. This may improve speed and accuracy of searching for contact information, reduce search time, and enhance image sharing efficiency.
