Communication methods and apparatuses are provided in the present disclosure. A method may include detecting neighboring devices within a preset range in a vicinity of an electronic device, the electronic device having a first client of a preset communication application running thereon; determining a communication object corresponding to a second client of the preset communication application running on a neighboring device in response to detecting that the neighboring device exists in the vicinity of the electronic device; and displaying a communication session interface associated with the preset communication application on the electronic device, the communication session interface being used for implementing a communication session for the communication object. Using technical solutions of the present disclosure, communication session interface(s) can be automatically started for neighboring device(s) in a vicinity of an electronic device, thereby improving the efficiency of communication and simplifying user operations.
