    Abstract: Embodiments of this application relate to the field of communications technologies, and disclose an application relocation method and apparatus, to resolve a problem in a conventional technology that a determined target AS is inaccurate and therefore a delay in accessing an application server by UE is long. A specific solution is as follows: A source application function AF obtains first information, where the first information is location information of the UE after a user plane path of a protocol data unit PDU session of the UE changes. The source AF determines a target application server AS based on the first information.
