1. An electronic device, comprising:
at least one camera;
a touchscreen display;
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
obtain, via the at least one camera, at least one image with respect to a user,
based on the obtaining of the at least one image, display a first three-dimensional (3D) graphic object by applying attribute pre-designated to a 3D template stored in the memory,
based on the first 3D graphic object, generate and display a 3D avatar including a first animation effect on the touchscreen display, wherein the first animation effect is based on a movement of each part of a face of the user, wherein the movement of each part of the face of the user is identified based on the at least one image with respect to the face of the user being obtained in real time, and wherein the first animation effect is applicable to another 3D graphic object generated by applying the attribute pre-designated to the 3D template,
detect a change of the each part of the face of the user based on the at least one image, change the 3D avatar, including a second animation effect different from the first animation effect, based on the change of the each part of the face of the user in real time,
based on reception of a first input to transmit the changed 3D avatar including the second animation effect, display a preview with respect to the changed 3D avatar on an execution screen of a message application, and
based on reception of a second input to an send icon included in the execution screen of the message application, transmit the changed 3D avatar including the second animation effect to counterpart device.
