Electronic device for transmitting and receiving messages with user of metaverse and method for operating the same

A method for operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

• displaying an execution screen of a message application capable of accessing first reception information about a first receiver and second reception information about a second receiver;
• obtaining, through the execution screen of the message application, a first command for transmitting a first message corresponding to the first receiver;
• transmitting the first message including, as reception information, a first phone number, based on the first reception information about the first receiver being the first phone number corresponding to the first receiver, in response to obtaining the first command;
• obtaining, through the execution screen of the message application, a second command for transmitting a second message corresponding to the second receiver;
• and
• transmitting the second message including, as reception information, metaverse service identification information identifying a metaverse service defining a virtual space and user identification information identifying a user of the metaverse service, based on the second reception information about the second receiver being the metaverse service identification information identifying the metaverse service and the user identification information identifying the user of the metaverse service, in response to obtaining the second command.

An electronic device comprising:

• at least one processor comprising processing circuitry;
• memory storing instructions;
• and
• a communication device comprising communication circuitry,
• wherein the instructions, when executed by at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
• identify a call generation request for user identification information identifying a user of a metaverse service defining a virtual space,
• transmit, through the communication device, a first message for call generation, including metaverse service identification information identifying the metaverse service and the user identification information,
• receive, through the communication device, a second message corresponding to the first message from a server corresponding to the metaverse service,
• receive, through the communication device, data representing a voice call associated with the user identification information using a call session established based on transmission of the first message and reception of the second message, and
• display a screen comprising content representing the voice call using the received data and an object selectable to access the virtual space.
