Provided are an application control method and apparatus, a storage medium and an electronic device. The method comprises: acquiring operating parameters of an electronic device at each sampling time point in a historical time period, wherein the operating parameters comprise a foreground application, the state of charge, the duration for which a screen has been bright, a charging connection state and a network connection state (101); according to the sampling time point, determining attenuation parameters corresponding to the operating parameters (102); according to the sampling time point and the operating parameters, generating a training sample (103); according to the training sample and the attenuation parameters, training a pre-set Bayesian model (104); and based on the trained Bayesian model, controlling a background application in the electronic device (105).
