Abstract

Provided are a method and apparatus for presenting images, a mobile terminal and a computer storage medium. The method includes: an instruction to present images in a folder is received; a predefined number of images are loaded to a screen of a device so as to be presented thereon, the predefined number is the quantity of images capable of being presented by the screen of the device; an instruction to move a display interface forward is received; it is determined in real time whether images presented on the screen of the device are hidden beyond the screen of the device after the display interface is moved forward, if Yes, memory space of images hidden beyond the screen of the device are recovered and images, as many as images with their memory space recovered, arranged behind the predefined number of images presented on the screen of the device in the folder are loaded to the screen of the device so as to be presented thereon. Through the disclosure, memory occupation and CPU consumption of presentation of a large number of images can be reduced to the most extent so that the large number of images are presented rapidly, efficiently and smoothly on a device, thereby improving greatly operation efficiencies of the device and applications.
