An operation track response method and an operation track response apparatus, where the method includes detecting a touch operation triggered by a user on a current display interface, determining a radian of an arc when a track of the touch operation includes the arc, and adjusting, according to the radian of the arc, content presented on the current display interface, where different radians correspond to adjustment of different degrees. The operation track response method and the operation track response apparatus are applicable to a touchscreen device with a small screen and media can still be controlled when an operating area is relatively small, have an extremely wide application scenario, and do not need assistance from a physical button, thereby improving practicability of the solution.
