Abstract: An electronic device and method for not exposing a memo to the others when delivering a corresponding memo in the electronic device to a specific user are disclosed. An electronic device for processing data includes at least one processor, a memory, and at least one program stored in the memory and executed by the at least one processor, wherein the program causes the at least one processor to receive data from a user, detect a user's gesture, and transform a form of the data based on the detected user's gesture. A method in an electronic device includes receiving a memo from a user, framing a memo with a memo frame, detecting a user's gesture and transforming a form of the memo frame based on the detected user's gesture.
