Abstract
A foldable electronic device is provided and includes a first display disposed on a first surface of the foldable electronic device and including a first region and a second region wider than the first region; a second display disposed on a second surface of the foldable electronic device opposite to the first surface and disposed to correspond to the first region; a state detection circuit for identifying a folded state and an unfolded state of the foldable electronic device; a processor; and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the unfolded state is a state where a front surface of the first display is exposed toward the first surface, wherein the folded state is a state where, as the foldable electronic device is folded such that the first region and the second region face each other, the second display and a partial region of the first display are exposed toward the first surface. In addition, the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to display a first user interface related to an application program being executed on the foldable electronic device through the first display based on the identification, by the state detection circuit, of the unfolded state; and display a first portion of the first user interface through the second display and display a second portion related to the first portion of the first user interface through the partial region of the first display based on the identification, by the state detection circuit, of the folded state.
