The present disclosure relates to timing advance indication methods, communication apparatuses, and storage medium. In one example method, a first device determines a quantity of extended bits and a location of the extended bit of a timing advance (TA) instruction based on a subcarrier spacing of a second device. The first device sends the TA instruction to the second device, where the TA instruction includes the extended bit, and a quantity of bits of the TA instruction is greater than 12.
