1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing including a first housing part and a second housing part configured to movably engage with the first housing part between a retracted state of the housing and an extended state of the housing;
a flexible display coupled to the first housing part and the second housing part such that a size of an area of the flexible display that is visible from a front side of the housing changes as a state of the housing is changed between the retracted state and the extended state;
memory, storing instructions, comprising one or more storage media; and
at least one processor comprising processing circuitry,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
receive a defined input, while a first portion of a screen is displayed via the area of the flexible display in the retracted state, and
in response to the defined input, display a window for guiding a position where a second portion of the screen is to be displayed when the state of the housing is changed from the retracted state to the extended state, as partially superimposed on the first portion of the screen.
