A method of updating application status information of an application in an electronic device (400; 1030, 1130; 1200; 1300), the method comprising: storing a plurality of device profiles including a first device profile and a second device profile, wherein each of the plurality of device profiles is mapped to one or more applications among a plurality of applications, and wherein each of the one or more applications mapped to each of the plurality of device profiles includes information on settings corresponding to each of the plurality of device profiles; displaying, on a display, a UI for receiving a user input, the user input selecting a device profile from among the plurality of device profiles; detecting, by the UI, a user input selecting the second device profile, the second device profile being a change of device profile from the first device profile to the second device profile; and characterized by updating application status information of the one or more applications mapped to the second device profile by using the information on the settings corresponding to the second device profile, wherein the updating the application status information of the one or more applications comprises: identifying the one or more applications which are mapped to the second device profile; and transmitting, via a network, the information on the settings corresponding to the second device profile to one or more application servers, each of the one or more application servers supporting each of the identified one or more applications mapped to the second device profile. storing a plurality of device profiles including a first device profile and a second device profile, wherein each of the plurality of device profiles is mapped to one or more applications among a plurality of applications, and wherein each of the one or more applications mapped to each of the plurality of device profiles includes information on settings corresponding to each of the plurality of device profiles; displaying, on a display, a UI for receiving a user input, the user input selecting a device profile from among the plurality of device profiles; detecting, by the UI, a user input selecting the second device profile, the second device profile being a change of device profile from the first device profile to the second device profile; and characterized by updating application status information of the one or more applications mapped to the second device profile by using the information on the settings corresponding to the second device profile, wherein the updating the application status information of the one or more applications comprises: identifying the one or more applications which are mapped to the second device profile; and transmitting, via a network, the information on the settings corresponding to the second device profile to one or more application servers, each of the one or more application servers supporting each of the identified one or more applications mapped to the second device profile. identifying the one or more applications which are mapped to the second device profile; and transmitting, via a network, the information on the settings corresponding to the second device profile to one or more application servers, each of the one or more application servers supporting each of the identified one or more applications mapped to the second device profile.
