Technologies related to application program data processing are disclosed. In one implementation, a first operation is detected on a mobile computing device. A manipulation mode of one or more mobile applications (APPs) is initiated in response to the first operation. A second operation is detected for selecting at least one of the one or more APPs performed on the mobile computing device. A manipulation of the at least one of the one or more APPs is initiated in response to the second operation if a predetermined condition associated with the second operation is met. An animation is performed on one or more APP icons corresponding to the at least one of the one or more APPs to show a status of the manipulation of the at least one of the one or more APPs.
