An operation method with fingerprint recognition, an apparatus, and a mobile terminal relate to the field of communications technologies, where the method includes obtaining a fingerprint event that is entered by a user, presenting at least one shortcut when the fingerprint event that is entered by the user matches a preset fingerprint event, obtaining an operation vector, where the operation vector is generated by operating at least one operation component of the mobile terminal by the user, running a first shortcut in the at least one shortcut according to the operation vector, and presenting a running result. Thereby reducing operation duration, and improving operation efficiency.
