ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION GUIDE USING THE SAME

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a fingerprint sensor disposed on one surface of the display, a memory storing a plurality of fingerprint images mapped to information indicative of a plurality of guide lines, and a processor operatively connected to the display, the fingerprint sensor, and the memory. The processor may be configured to display a first user interface (UI) indicative of a fingerprint recognition area and, as a second UI, a guide line corresponding to a fingerprint image having a high quality value among the plurality of fingerprint images stored in the memory by using the display, based on an input signal to request fingerprint authentication being detected, obtain a fingerprint image of a finger by using the fingerprint sensor based on the finger of a user touching the fingerprint recognition area, compare the obtained fingerprint image and a fingerprint image mapped to information indicative of the first UI and/or the second UI, and perform the fingerprint authentication based on the obtained fingerprint image and the mapped fingerprint image being identical with each other based on a result of the comparison.
