1. An electronic device comprising:
a communication circuit;
a memory; and
a processor connected to the communication circuit and the memory,
wherein the memory stores instructions causing, upon being executed, the processor to:
store a usage history in the memory, the usage history collected from a plurality of user devices in a user device group through the communication circuit,
generate, based on the usage history, a group profile that includes information indicating usage types of the user for the user device group and information indicating the user's preference for each usage type,
receive device information indicating functions of a first user device in the user device group from at least one of the first user device or a second user device in the user device group through the communication circuit,
select, upon determining that there is no user device of a same type as the first user device in the user device group, and based on the group profile, at least one of the functions of the first user device as a recommended function to a user,
select, upon determining that there is a third user device of a same type as the first user device in the user device group, and based on a usage history of the third user device, a function of the first user device matched with a function of the third user device as the recommended function,
generate a customized manual to allow the user to use the recommended function of the first user device, and
transmit, to the first user device or the second user device through the communication circuit, at least one of the customized manual or recommendation information for recommending the customized manual to the user.
