An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: a housing including a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction; a touch screen display disposed between the first surface and the second surface and exposed through the first surface; a pressure sensor disposed between the first surface and the second surface and configured to sense at least one pressure by an external object on the touch screen display; at least one processor electrically connected to the touch screen display and the pressure sensor; and a memory electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory may store instructions which cause the processor to receive, from the pressure sensor, data indicating pressure by a user or the external object on the touch screen display, determine a rate of pressure change corresponding to a change of the pressure per unit time, and call a function on the basis of at least a part of at least one between a value of the pressure and the rate of pressure change, during execution. Other embodiments may be possible.
