Display method and device of reference information

The disclosure reveals a display method and a device of reference information, which belong to the technical field of mobile terminals. The method comprises that a preset operational signal is received on a first interface which displays a first application; after the preset operational signal is received, the reference information is acquired, wherein the reference information comprises information displayed by a mobile terminal when a second application is used, information selected by a user and at least one type of default information in the mobile terminal; and a second interface is displayed in the first application, wherein the second interface comprises interface contents of the first interface and the reference information. When the mobile terminal is reached, the second interface containing the interface contents of the first interface and the reference information can be directly displayed, so the user does not need to switch the applications by operating the mobile terminal, and the user's operating complexity is also reduced.
