An electronic device comprising:

• a sensing circuit;
• a memory configured to store at least one instruction;
• and
• a processor operably connected to the sensing circuit and the memory,
• wherein the memory is configured to store at least one instruction configured to cause the processor, when executed, to:
• identify existence of a different person near the electronic device, based on a sensing value sensed via the sensing circuit while operating in a normal mode in which notification information is provided,
• determine whether the different person is an information sharer allowed by a user of the electronic device to share notification information,
• operate the electronic device in the normal mode in which notification information is provided without being limited, in response to determining that the different person is an information sharer, and
• operate the electronic device in a privacy mode in which notification information is limited and provided, in response to determining that the different person is not an information sharer.
