Abstract

A method and an apparatus for running and configuring a display in connection with an electronic device that can be folded and unfolded (foldable electronic device) are provided. The electronic device includes a first display surface, a second display surface, at least one sensor, at least one processor, and a memory configured to store a first application program including a first user interface and a second application program including a second user interface. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to display the first user interface on the first display surface, display the second user interface on the second display surface, receive data from the at least one sensor, and select one of a first mode or a second mode with regard to the first display surface and select one of a third mode or a fourth mode with regard to the second display surface, at least partially based on the data.
