Embodiments of this application relate to the field of display technologies, and provide a gate driving circuit, a method for controlling a gate driving circuit, and a mobile terminal, to resolve a problem that a complete image cannot be displayed after a flexible display screen is folded. The gate driving circuit includes a first driving group, a first connection controller, and a second driving group. The first driving group is configured to receive a start signal output by a first signal end of a display driver. A first end of the first connection controller is configured to receive an active signal output by the first driving group. A second end of the first connection controller is configured to receive a cascade gating signal output by a second signal end of the display driver. A third end of the first connection controller is configured to receive a split-screen gating signal output by a third signal end of the display driver. A fourth end of the first connection controller is configured to receive a split-screen display signal output by a fourth signal end of the display driver. The second driving group is configured to receive an active signal output by a fifth end of the first connection controller.
