Abstract
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.
