Original Abstract Submitted
An interaction method includes displaying a voice message icon and a corresponding identity icon, and, when playing the voice message, displaying a first tape reel, displaying that a tape segment moves toward the identity icon from the first tape reel. The method further includes displaying that at least one of the first tape reel or the identity icon rotates, and a thickness of the first tape reel gradually decreases with playback of the voice message, and displaying the tape segment connecting the identity icon and the first tape reel. The method further includes, at ending playback, stopping display of the first tape reel, displaying that an end of the tape segment moves from the first tape reel toward the identity icon, and stopping display of the tape segment when the end of the tape segment reaches the identity icon.
