Description

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410384707.0, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on March 28, 2024 and entitled "FOLDER INTERACTION METHOD AND RELATED APPARATUS", which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD This application relates to the field of terminals and terminal technologies, and in particular, to a folder interaction method and a related apparatus. BACKGROUND Currently, application icons may be displayed on a desktop of an electronic device like a mobile phone or a tablet of a user. To implement classified management of different types of application icons, a folder is provided on the desktop of the electronic device. One or more application icons may be placed in the folder. For a large folder, the user may directly tap an application icon in the large folder to start a corresponding application. Currently, if the user wants to use an application shortcut menu corresponding to the application icon in the large folder or move a position of the application icon, the user needs to first expand the large folder, then locate the corresponding application icon, and perform a related operation to invoke the application shortcut menu or move the position of the application icon. This makes user operations cumbersome and affects user experience. SUMMARY This application provides a folder interaction method and a related apparatus. According to the method, a user can directly perform an operation on an application icon in a large folder without expanding the large folder, for example, long pressing the application icon to invoke an application shortcut menu, or long pressing and moving the application icon. In this way, user operations can be simplified, thereby improving user experience. According to a first aspect, this application provides a folder interaction method. The method may include: An electronic device displays a desktop. The desktop includes a large folder, the large folder includes an icon of a first application and an icon of a second application, the desktop further includes an icon of a third application, and the large folder does not include the icon of the third application. The electronic device receives a first operation performed by a user on the desktop. In response to the first operation, the electronic device moves the icon of the first application from a first position to a second position. In this way, the user may directly move a position of the first application in the large folder, without expanding the large folder on the desktop. The user does not need to first expand the large folder and then move a position of an application icon, which simplifies user operations, thereby improving user experience. With reference to the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the first position and the second position are positions in the large folder, and the first position and the second position are different. Alternatively, the first position is a position in the large folder, and the second position is outside the large folder and is a position on the desktop. After the icon of the first application is moved from the first position to the second position, the icon of the first application is no longer displayed in the large folder. With reference to the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the first operation is an operation of long pressing the icon of the first application and moving the icon of the first application in the large folder; or the first operation is an operation of long pressing the icon of the first application and moving the icon of the first application out of the large folder. In this way, the user may adjust a position of the icon of the first application in the large folder or move the icon of the first application out of the large folder, without expanding the large folder on the desktop. The user does not need to first expand the large folder and then adjust the position of the icon of the first application in the large folder, and the user does not need to first expand the large folder and then move the icon of the first application out of the large folder. In this way, user operations can be simplified, thereby improving user experience. With reference to the first aspect, in a possible implementation, when the large folder includes only the icon of the first application and the icon of the second application, the second position is outside the large folder and is the position on the desktop, and after the electronic device moves the icon of the first application from the first position to the second position, the method may further include: The electronic device no longer displays the large folder, and displays the icon of the second application at a third position on the desktop. In this way, when there are only two application icons in the large folder, the user may move out one application icon without expanding the large folder, so that the elec
