1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing;
a flexible display including a first region and a second region, wherein the second region is configured to form a substantially planar surface with the first region when the second region is moved from inside to outside of the housing according to a moving of at least a part of the housing;
a communication circuit configured to enable transmitting data to an external electronic device and/or receiving data from the external electronic device;
at least one sensor configured to detect at least one value related to a movement of the second region;
memory storing instructions;
at least one processor configured to cause the electronic device to:
display first content on the first region of the flexible display, while the second region of the flexible display is located in the housing,
transmit first information about the first content and the first region to the external electronic device through the communication circuit so as to cause the external electronic device to display the first content in a first screen ratio corresponding to the first information at a center of a display of the external electronic device,
identify a distance of the movement of the second region by the at least one sensor,
display second content on a third region, visible to the outside of the housing based on the identified distance, comprising the first region and at least a portion of the second region, and
transmit second information about the second content and the third region to the external electronic device through the communication circuit so as to cause the external electronic device to display the second content in a second screen ratio corresponding to the second information at the center of the display of the external electronic device.
