Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention provide an electronic device, and a method for managing the life cycle of a plurality of applications executed in the electronic device, the electronic device comprising: a display; at least one processor operably connected to the display; and a memory operably connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores a first application program and a second application program which include user interfaces, and the memory stores instructions for allowing, when executed, the processor to request status information related to the first application program, receive the status information related to the first application program, and display, on the display, a user interface of the second application program including content generated on the basis of at least some the received status information, so that the first application program and the second application program can be linkably operated. Other various embodiments are possible.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method are provided. The electronic device includes a communication module, a touch screen display, a processor electrically connected with the communication module and the touch screen display, and a memory electrically connected with the processor. The memory is configured to stores an application program configured to transmit and receive data to/from an external electronic device using the communication module, and instructions to enable the processor to display a user interface of the application program in the touch screen display when the application program is executed. The user interface includes a first area that displays at least one of an image and text that is associated with a user who is related to the external electronic device, and a second area that displays data that is shared with the external electronic device, and the first area overlaps at least a part of the second area.
