An electronic device according to various embodiments of the disclosure comprises: a foldable housing, a flexible display, a communication circuit, a sensor module, a processor, and a memory. The memory can store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to sense whether an event configured to display a user interface has occurred, identify an angle between a first housing and a second housing using the sensor module, determine, based on the identified angle, at least one area for displaying the user interface from among at least one edge area or folding area of the flexible display, and control the display to display the user interface in the determined at least one area.

Electronic device and method for providing notification thereof

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The device includes a foldable housing including a hinge connecting a first and second housing, a first bendable display, a second display oriented facing the first display, at least one sensor for detecting the bending, a memory and a processor. The processor implements the method, including: detecting bending by the sensor while displaying an application, determining to pre-generate another screen of the application based on the bending angle, pre-generating the second execution screen before the change in the angle is reaches a threshold value, and active a deactivated display and display the second execution screen on the activated display when the angle surpasses the predetermined threshold value.
