1. A wearable device comprising:
memory storing one or more computer programs;
a display; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory and the display;
wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the wearable device to:
control the display to display a first execution screen of a first application and a first handler as a virtual object,
detect a first user input for executing a second application in a state in which the first execution screen of the first application is displayed as the virtual object,
based on identifying that a user's gaze of the wearable device is directed to the first execution screen, identify that a second user input is detected for requesting to display a second execution screen of the second application as being included in a same group as the first execution screen of the first application,
based on identifying that the second user input is detected, control the display to display the first execution screen and the second execution screen by grouping the first execution screen and the second execution screen into a first region,
detect that an execution screen insertion request is obtained through an external electronic device while the first execution screen and the second execution screen are displayed to be included in the same group, and
based on the execution screen insertion request, display an execution screen of an application being displayed on the external electronic device to be included in the same group.
