A content playing continuation method, comprising: displaying, by a first electronic device, a control center on a first interface, wherein the control center comprises a device list comprising N electronic devices, the N electronic devices and the first electronic device are located in a same content playing continuation system such that they have content playing continuation capabilities, and N is an integer greater than 0; receiving, by the first electronic device, a first selection operation of selecting a second electronic device from the N electronic devices by a user; in response to the first selection operation, determining, by the first electronic device, whether the first electronic device is a source device or a target device of a current content playing continuation task; if the first electronic device is the source device of the current content playing continuation task, switching, by the first electronic device, display content and/or audio content on the first interface to the second electronic device for continuous playing; or if the first electronic device is the target device of the current content playing continuation task, switching, by the first electronic device, content in the second electronic device to the first electronic device for continuous playing; displaying, by the first electronic device, an application list comprising M applications in the control center, wherein the M applications are applications in the second electronic device, and M is an integer greater than 0; and in response to a second selection operation of selecting a first application from the M applications by the user, switching, by the first electronic device, the first application to the first electronic device for running; wherein the determining, by the first electronic device, whether the first electronic device is a source device or a target device of a current content playing continuation task comprises: when an application to which the first interface belongs is an application of a preset type, determining, by the first electronic device, that the source device of the current content playing continuation task is the first electronic device; and when the application to which the first interface belongs is not the application of the preset type, determining, by the first electronic device, that the target device of the current content playing continuation task is the first electronic device. displaying, by a first electronic device, a control center on a first interface, wherein the control center comprises a device list comprising N electronic devices, the N electronic devices and the first electronic device are located in a same content playing continuation system such that they have content playing continuation capabilities, and N is an integer greater than 0;
