Disclosed in various examples of the present invention are a method and a device for enabling a system function using a system button to be used according to a user input, when displaying a picture related to an application through the entire area of a display without displaying a system button (provided transparently or translucently). According to various examples of the present invention, an electronic device comprises a display, a memory, and a processor electrically connected to the display and the memory, wherein the processor can be configured so as to sense, on the display, a user input through a touch region including the system button, identify the user input, and execute a system function by means of the system button or an application function according to the user input in the touch area including the system button. Various examples are possible.

Electronic device and operating method therefor

A device and method for switching applications in an electronic device are described. An electronic device includes a display and at least one processor. The at least one processor controls the display to display execution information on a first application and to display an application switch object in at least a portion of the display along with the displayed execution information on the first application when input for displaying the application switch object is received while the first application is executed. The application switch object includes at least one first object corresponding to an application usage history of the electronic device, a second object corresponding to the first application, and at least one third object corresponding to at least one second application executable in the electronic device.

Method for switching applications, and electronic device thereof

Display screen or portion thereof with icon

An electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise a display, memory, and at least one processor configured to be connected electrically to the display and the memory. The at least one processor may execute instructions stored in the memory to: display a first screen generated by a first application on the display, provide first attribute information of at least one object included in the first screen to a second application in response to a screen switching event for displaying a second screen generated by the second application, and generate, by the second application, the second screen including the at least one object based on the first attribute information.

Electronic device and method for displaying screen thereof

An electronic device is provided and includes a touch screen and a processor that is configured to display a first object among a plurality of sequentially arranged objects on the touch screen, display, when a first user input that satisfies a designated condition is detected via the touch screen while the first object is displayed, a second object arranged subsequent to the first object according to an arrangement order among the plurality of objects on the touch screen, and display, when a second user input that does not satisfy the designated condition is detected via the touch screen while the first object is displayed, a third object designated regardless of the arrangement order among the plurality of objects on the touch screen.
