Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of this disclosure are directed to a method and a terminal device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The terminal device includes processing circuitry that obtains n voice messages from at least one user account. n is a positive integer. The processing circuitry displays a voice message presentation interface. The voice message presentation interface is configured to display virtual characters corresponding to the n voice messages in a virtual world. Locations of the n voice messages in the virtual world are based on whether the n voice messages are unplayed. The virtual characters can be based on respective message attributes of the n voice messages.
