An apparatus and method for synchronizing applications of an electronic device include identifying, at the electronic device, a first data transmission time corresponding to a first application and a second data transmission time corresponding to a second application. A third data transmission time corresponding to the first application is determined based on the first data transmission time and a fourth data transmission time corresponding to the second application based on the second data transmission time. Data associated with the first application is transmitted from the electronic device at a fifth data transmission time determined based on at least the fourth data transmission time.
