An electronic device comprising:

• a display device;
• a communication system;
• memory storing one or more computer programs;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the display device, the communication system, and the memory,
• wherein the one or more computer programs include instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to:
• receive a user input for inputting message content using a keypad while a message application is executed,
• control the display device to display, on a message display area of a display screen of the message application, a first layer comprising the message content,
• control the display device to display, on at least a portion of the message content, a second layer with a non-transparent effect to have the at least a portion of the message content hidden by the second layer,
• generate a message including information on the first layer and information associated with the second layer, and
• control the communication system to transmit the generated message, and
• wherein the generated message is configured to cause another electronic device to:
• display the message with the at least a portion of the message content being hidden by the second layer so that the at least a portion of the message content is unreadable, and
• display the at least a portion of the message content of the first layer in response to a touch gesture on the second layer being sensed at the other electronic device, and display again the second layer with the non-transparent effect on the at least a portion of the message content to hide the at least a portion of the message content at the other electronic device, after the at least a portion of the message content is displayed in response to the touch gesture.
