A speech control method and an electronic device. The method includes displaying a first interface of an application, where the first interface includes a control used to update the first interface, enabling a speech application in the background in response to a wake-up signal entered by a user, displaying M speech input prompts on the first interface, where each speech input prompt corresponds to at least one control on the first interface, collecting a speech control signal entered by the user, where the speech control signal corresponds to a first speech input prompt in the M speech input prompts, and displaying a second interface of the application in response to the speech control signal, where the second interface is an interface obtained through updating after a first control on the first interface is triggered, and the first control corresponds to the first speech input prompt.
