einblenden vs anzeigen

to report / display / advertise

'anzeigen' and 'einblenden' can both mean that you can see something on a screen. 'anzeigen' is more general and only says that information is visible or is made visible. 'einblenden' describes more specifically that text, an image, or sound is additionally made visible or audible in a film, presentation, or app, often for a certain time. The words can be confused because text that is 'eingeblendet' is also displayed. If the exact process is important, 'einblenden' fits better; if you only mean the visible information, 'anzeigen' fits.
