Electronic device and method for displaying history of executed application thereof

An electronic device comprising:

• a flexible display configured to output execution screens of a plurality of applications;
• a memory configured to store the plurality of applications;
• and
• a processor electrically connected with the flexible display and the memory,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• retrieve a history including a layout with two or more objects corresponding to two or more applications that were previously executed among the plurality of applications that were previously executed in the electronic device, in response to a user input detected by the electronic device, wherein locations of the two or more objects in the layout correspond to locations of execution screens of the two or more applications when previously executed, such that the two or more applications are associated with one another in the layout;
• in response to the flexible display being unfolded, output the history on the flexible display based on information about the two or more applications and information about the layout;
• and
• in response to the flexible display being folded so that a portion of the flexible display is inactive, output the history on the flexible display without reflecting the information about the layout, such that the two or more applications are disassociated from one another and are displayed sequentially in the history.
