A method for outputting a target content and a terminal may include acquiring the target content and displaying a target content logo; determining corresponding output modes based on the target content, and displaying a preset area corresponding to each of the output modes. When it is detected that the target content logo is dragged to at least one of the preset areas, the method may include outputting the target content in the output mode corresponding to the preset area. Output modes may be displayed that support the target content selected by a user. The method can enable the user to rapidly select or switch the output mode, and facilitate user operations.
