Specific embodiments of this application provide an inter-device data migration method and an apparatus. The method includes: interacting, by a first device, with a user through an application in a data collection range; when determining that the user is not located in the data collection range, determining, by the first device, that the user is located in a data collection range of a second device in a network; and when the second device supports the application, sending, by the first device, to-be-migrated data to the second device, so that the second device continues to interact with the user based on the to-be-migrated data, where the to-be-migrated data includes information about the application and progress information, and the progress information indicates progress of interaction between the first device and the user. In this application, when the user interacts with a device through the application and the user is not located in a data collection range of the device, a specific device with a data collection range in which the user is currently located is determined. The application is migrated to the device, so that the user directly interacts with the device through the application that is run on the device. This avoids a problem that the user cannot move when interacting with a fixed device through the application
