Electronic device and method for providing notification thereof

An electronic device comprising:

• a foldable housing comprising:
• a hinge;
• a first housing connected to the hinge and comprising a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction opposite the first direction;
• and
• a second housing connected to the hinge, comprising a third surface facing a third direction and a fourth surface facing a fourth direction opposite the third direction, and configured to fold onto the first housing about the hinge, the third direction being opposite the first direction in a folded state, and the third direction being identical to the first direction in a fully unfolded state;
• a flexible display configured to be visible through the first surface of the first housing and the third surface of the second housing and comprises at least one edge area and/or folding area;
• a communication circuit disposed in the foldable housing;
• a sensor module including at least one sensor disposed in the foldable housing;
• a processor disposed in the first housing or the second housing and operatively connected to the flexible display, the communication circuit, and the sensor module;
• and
• a memory operatively connected to the processor,
• wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
• sense whether an event configured to display a user interface has occurred,
• identify an angle between the first housing and the second housing using the sensor module,
• determine, based on the identified angle, at least one area for displaying the user interface from among the at least one edge area or folding area of the flexible display, and
• control the display to display the user interface in the determined at least one area.
