1. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
a touch sensor disposed in the display and including a plurality of lines, and a plurality of nodes formed by the plurality of lines;
a memory storing instructions; and
a processor,
wherein the instructions, when being executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
obtain a plurality of node values from each of the plurality of nodes,
change a touch sensitivity of the touch sensor from a first touch sensitivity to a second touch sensitivity lower than the first touch sensitivity based on identifying a pattern by the plurality of node values representing a fluid on the touch sensor, and
identify whether to recognize a contact on the touch sensor as a touch input through a plurality of line values obtained from each of the plurality of lines based on identifying a change of the pattern by the plurality of node values representing movement of the fluid on the touch sensor.
