Provided in the present application are a positioning method and apparatus, and a terminal and a storage medium. On a first terminal side, the positioning method includes: acquiring positioning service information of a target terminal; determining from the target terminal, according to the positioning service information, a primary positioning terminal for providing a primary positioning service and a secondary positioning terminal for providing a secondary positioning service; and performing positioning for a location of a first terminal based on the primary positioning terminal and the secondary positioning terminal. Since the positioning of the first terminal can be assisted by the primary positioning terminal and the secondary positioning terminal, the location of the first terminal can be accurately positioned even if a network coverage area where the first terminal is located does not have a proper positioning server therein to provide a positioning service.
