Electronic device and application managing method thereof

A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:

• identifying, by a processor, states for each of a plurality of applications, the states each including one of an enabled state, a sleep state, or a disabled state, wherein applications in the sleep state are grouped into a first application group, and applications in the disabled state are grouped into a second application group;
• executing a first application to display, on a display, a first field, a second field, and a third field including a selectable object;
• and
• receiving a first user input via input circuitry selecting the selectable object, and based on the first user input, re-identifying the states of each of the plurality of applications to update the first application group and the second application group.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory operatively connected to the processor, the memory storing instructions and a plurality of applications installed in the electronic device,
• wherein the instructions when executed, cause the processor to:
• identify states for each of a plurality of applications installed in the electronic device, the states each including one of an enabled state, a sleep state, or a disabled state;
• based on receiving a first signal from an external electronic device indicating that a first application from among the plurality of applications is in the sleep state, generate a first log information indicating that the first application is installed in the electronic device;
• and
• based on receiving a second signal from the external electronic device associated indicating that a second application from among the plurality of applications is in the disabled state, generate a second log information indicating the second application is uninstalled on the electronic device.
