1. An electronic device, comprising:
a first housing;
a second housing that is movable relative to and over the first housing and at least partially overlapping the first housing;
a flexible display at least partially mounted on the second housing and at least partially visually exposed to an exterior of the electronic device, wherein the flexible display is insertable into an interior of the first housing based on the second housing moving relative to the first housing in a first direction, and removable from the interior of the first housing based on the second housing moving relative to the first housing in a second direction;
a memory, and
at least one processor coupled to the flexible display and the memory,
wherein the memory stores instructions configured to, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:
display an execution screen of a first application on a first display area of the flexible display,
identify an event generated in association with a second application while the execution screen of the first application is displayed on the flexible display,
display, on the first display area of the flexible display, a notification message indicating that the event is generated,
detect movement of the second housing relative to the first housing in the second direction within a predetermined time after the notification message is displayed,
based on the movement of the second housing being detected in the second direction, display an execution screen of the second application on a second display area of the flexible display while the execution screen of the first application is displayed on the first display area of the flexible display,
detect movement of the second housing relative to the first housing in the first direction while the execution screen of the second application is displayed on the second display area, and
based on the movement of the second housing being detected in the first direction, display a visual element indicating the second application and the execution screen of the first application.
