1. An electronic device comprising:
a sensor;
communication circuitry;
a display;
memory configured to store instructions; and
at least one processor,
wherein the instructions are configured to, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
obtain first information through the sensor,
receive second information from an external electronic device through the communication circuitry,
identify a plurality of states of the electronic device based on at least one of first information obtained through the sensor, second information received from the external electronic device through the communication circuitry, or third information associated with a function executed on the electronic device,
determine priorities of the plurality of states of the electronic device based on a designated priority reference,
identify whether there is a second state mergeable with a first state of a first priority to be displayed on the display among the plurality of states of the electronic device, and
display, on the display, a first character object corresponding to the first state or a third character object corresponding to a merge of the first state and the second state, based on whether there is the second state mergeable with the first state.
