An application management method and a terminal are disclosed. The method includes: acquiring a list of applications needing to retain background data in a terminal; and when it is determined that a first application running in the terminal is not in the list of the applications needing to retain the background data, suspending a first timer corresponding to the first application running. In embodiments of the present invention, timers of applications that do not need to retain background data in the terminal can be suspended. Because the timers stop to be run temporarily, the timers do not wake up the terminal from a dormant state, and correspondingly, the applications do not need to interact with a server end to update the background data, thereby reducing the number of times of waking up the terminal from a dormant state, saving electricity consumption and data traffic of the terminal, and prolonging the standby time of the terminal correspondingly. |
