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 ci…
