Abstract
An electronic device may include: a foldable housing including at least one hinge structure; a flexible display module of which at least a partial area is exposed through the foldable housing; and at least one processor provided inside the foldable housing. The display module may include: a plurality of areas; and at least one foldable area which is disposed between at least the plurality of areas so as to correspond to the at least one hinge structure and can be folded according to the state of the at least one hinge structure. The at least one processor may be configured to: when the state of the at least one hinge structure is a first state, display a first execution screen of a first application on the display module, wherein in the first state, a first foldable area of the at least one foldable area is in a folded state; while the first foldable area of the at least one foldable area is in the folded state, detect a touch and drag input into the first foldable area from an object included in the first execution screen; and after detecting the touch and drag input, on the basis of the state of the at least one hinge structure changing from the first state to a second state, dis…
