The electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure adjusts the AOD content received from the external device to the electronic device based on the state of the display included in the electronic device, the battery state, and the preset AOD content, thereby providing preset AOD content. It can have the effect of maintaining unity without compromising the visibility of

In addition, even if the type of the external electronic device that generated the AOD content and the type of the electronic device that received the AOD content are different, the compatibility between electronic devices will be improved as the AOD content is automatically adjusted to fit the electronic device that has received the AOD content. can
