Embodiments of the invention disclose an information display method and a terminal. The information display method comprises the following steps: after receiving information of distance between the terminal and an object, judging whether the distance between the terminal and the object is less than a preset threshold value by the terminal according to the information of the distance; and if judging that the distance between the terminal and the object is less than the preset threshold value, displaying the preset content in the current display interface of the terminal different from the other contents except the preset content in the current display interface according to a preset rule. In the embodiments of the invention, when the preset content in the current display interface of the terminal is displayed different from the other contents except the preset content in the current display interface according to the preset rule, the terminal is capable of carrying out adjustment according to the information of the distance between the terminal and the object without inputting touch operation by a user, so that the operation step of displaying the information by a user terminal can be simplified.
