Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a message display method and apparatus. The method comprises: receiving unlock information and authenticating the unlock information; and selecting one message from at least one received messages and displaying content of a selected message if it is determined that authentication of the unlock information is passed. That is, in the technical solution as described in the embodiments of the present disclosure, if it is determined that authentication of the unlock information is passed, then one message would be selected directly and its content is displayed, so that flows of displaying the message are simplified and steps of manual operation are reduced, which enables that the message display method as described in the embodiment of the present disclosure become more user-friendly and user experience would be better.

Claims

determining whether there are messages not read currently after the message displayed currently is turned off, and select one message from the messages not read and display content of a selected message if there are messages not read currently.

7. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 6, wherein the unlock information comprises at least one or more of following information:

fingerprint unlock information, key unlock information, slide unlock information, gesture unlock information, voice unlock information or human face recognition unlock information.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 6, wherein the process further comprises turning off a message currently displayed if a message turn-off instruction is received or a set display period is reached after the processing displays the content of the selected message.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 8, wherein the message turn-off instruction comprises at least one or more of following instructions:

gesture instruction, voice instruction, slide instruction or key instruction.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 6, wherein the process further comprises displaying only non-private information of a received message on a lock screen interface if it is determined that the received message is a preset private message before authentication of the unlock information is passed.
