A method for performing multi-camera capturing control of an electronic device and an associated apparatus are provided, where the method can be applied to the electronic device. The method may include the steps of: obtaining a plurality of preview images, wherein the plurality of preview images are generated by using at least one lens module of the electronic device; generating at least one distance-related index according to characteristics of the plurality of preview images; and according to the aforementioned at least one distance-related index, selectively controlling whether to allow multi-camera capturing or controlling whether to output warning information. For example, when it is detected that a specific distance-related index within the aforementioned at least one distance-related index falls within a predetermined range, a notification which indicates that a multi-camera capturing function of the electronic device is allowed to be triggered may be output, in order to guarantee the overall performance.
