A method for adjusting a touch hotspot of a terminal is provided. The method includes: obtaining touch point coordinates of touch actions received in a at least one predetermined time period; determining at least one effective coordinate point from the touch point coordinates; selecting, from the touch point coordinates, at least one deviated coordinate point associated with the application icon; and adjusting current hotspot of an application icon based on the at least one deviated coordinate point of the application icon to obtain a new hotspot of the application icon, where the new hotspot includes the current hotspot.
