Electronic device and method for controlling execution of application based on execution sequence of applications
An electronic device displays a first screen is provided. The electronic device includes a list of one or more second applications in a display based on a first application, the second applications being different from the first application. The electronic device displays, in response to a first input of selecting one application of the one or more second applications based on the list, a second screen based on execution of the selected application in the display. The electronic device identifies information indicating at least one application switchable from the second screen within the first application, in response to a second input executing a third application based on the second screen. The electronic device identifies whether to switch from the second screen to a third screen based on execution of the third application to initiate the execution of the third application.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 ,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to;
based on the information indicating the sequence is included in the blocked depth list, display, by overlapping on the second screen, a pop-up screen for providing information indicating that the execution of the third application is blocked.
6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, further cause the electronic device to:
display, the second screen including a link for executing the third application for downloading another application,
receive the second user selecting the link, and
in response to the second user input, identify whether to execute the third application based on the sequence.
7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, further cause the electronic device to:
identify the third application among a plurality of applications stored in the electronic device, based on a filter indicated by the second user input and the information, in response to the second user input.
8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, further cause the electronic device to:
identify the third application, by comparing the filter and a text stored in meta data of the one or more second applications, and
classify all applications stored in the electronic device according to types of the applications, by using the filter.
9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, further cause the electronic device to:
replace execution of an application selected by another user input with an allowed application of which a type is corresponding to a type of the application selected by the another user input, in response to a name of the selected application being in a blocked name list, the blocked name list indicating that execution of an application of which a name included in the blocked name list is not allowed while the first application is executed.
10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, further cause the electronic device to;
identify another input for terminating the first application, during the execution of the first application, and
display, by overlapping on the first screen, another screen for authenticating a user, during execution of the first application.
11. A method of an electronic device, the method comprising:
displaying a first screen including a list of one or more second applications in a display, based on execution of a first application, the second applications being distinct from the first application;
executing, in response to a first user input of selecting one of the one or more second applications, the selected second application in the display, based on information indicating a name of the selected second application included in an allowed name list, the allowed name list indicating that execution of an application of which a name included in the allowed name list is allowed while the first application is executed;
receiving, through a second screen based on the execution of the selected second application, a second user input executing a third application;
