A display method and an apparatus that relates to the field of communications technologies, to avoid a problem that a process of a currently running application cannot continue due to disconnection of a terminal when the terminal performs multi-screen display. The method includes a first terminal sending first display data to a second terminal after the first terminal connects to the second terminal, so that the second terminal displays a first interface. In this case, the first terminal displays a second interface (the second interface is different from the first interface). The first terminal disconnects from the second terminal; and after the first terminal reconnects to the second terminal, the first terminal may send second display data to the second terminal, so that the second terminal displays a third interface correlated with the first interface.
