Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus and/or method for displaying a multi-window on a foldable electronic device may be provided. The electronic device may include a display device having a display area having a shape that varies depending on first and second housing structures connected to a hinge structure, and a processor operatively connected to the display device, in which the processor may divide a first type display area into a plurality of areas and display information related to a plurality of applications when the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the processor may check at least one application set to be continuously used among the plurality of applications when the electronic device switches to a folded state, and the processor may set up a screen constitution in the folded state based on the at least one application and output information related to the at least one application through a second type display area based on the screen constitution. Other embodiments may also be possible.
