Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes at least two housings rotatably coupled to each other; a flexible display disposed on the at least two housings, a first vibration motor disposed in a first housing among the at least two housings, a second vibration motor disposed in a second housing among the at least two housings and configured to vibrate in a different direction from the first vibration motor, at least one first sensor; at least one second sensor, memory, including one or more storage media, storing instructions, and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the flexible display, the first vibration motor, the second vibration motor, the at least one first sensor, the at least one second sensor, and the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to acquire at least one measurement value from the at least one first sensor and the at least one second sensor, identify a folding state of the electronic device according to rotation between the at least two housings, based on the at least one measurement value measured from the at least one first sensor, identify a grip state with respect to at least one of the at least two housings, based on the at least one measurement value measured from the at least one second sensor, and operate the first vibration motor or the second vibration motor, based on the identified folding state and the identified grip state.
