Claims12
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication interface;
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive a first message through the communication interface;
- based on determining that two or more wearable devices are connected to the electronic device through the communication interface, transmit notification information corresponding to the first message to the two or more wearable devices to provide notifications through each of the two or more wearable devices;
- in response to receiving first information which indicates that a notification corresponding to the first message is checked on a first wearable device among the two or more wearable devices, transmit second information which indicates that the first message is checked on another device to the two or more wearable devices except for the first wearable device.
