- a communication unit configured to communicate with an external electronic device;
- an input unit configured to receive a setting for limiting notification;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- connect to the external electronic device,
- when a first predetermined event occurs before receiving the setting for limiting notification and while connected to the external electronic device, transmit a first notification message to the external electronic device,
- when the first predetermined event occurs after receiving the setting for limiting notification and while connected to the external electronic device, withhold transmitting the first notification message to the external electronic device,
- receive, from the external electronic device, a first information indicating that the external electronic device is in an unworn state, and
