1. An electronic device, comprising,
a grip sensor which detects a grip on the electronic device; and
a communication circuitry operably coupled to the grip sensor,
wherein the grip sensor is configured to:
transmit, to the communication circuitry in a first state for detecting the grip, a signal indicating whether the grip is detected, based on a capacitance changed by the grip and a reference capacitance;
adjust, in a second state, which is different from the first state, for adjusting the reference capacitance, the reference capacitance based on the capacitance; and
adjust, based on identifying that the reference capacitance is adjusted to be greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the reference capacitance to be lower than the preset threshold.
