A control method is applied in the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes a terminal body and a camera assembly, the camera assembly is disposed inside the terminal body and is movable relative to the terminal body to move out of the terminal body. The mobile terminal displays a first interface, acquires interface information of the first interface; determines a second interface based on the interface information of the first interface, wherein the second interface is a next interface following the first interface and forecasted by the mobile terminal; determines whether a function supported by the second interface requires the camera assembly to be activated; and controls the camera assembly to move out of the terminal body in response to the function supported by the second interface requiring the camera assembly to be activated.
