    Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus and method for providing location information of an external device by an electronic device. In this case, the electronic device includes an air pressure sensor, a display, and a processor. The processor may be configured for identifying air pressure of an external device, detecting air pressure of a region in which the electronic device is located by using the air pressure sensor. The processor may also be configured for detecting a direction in which the external device is located based on a difference between the air pressure of the external device and the air pressure of the region in which the electronic device is located. The processor may also be configured for controlling the display to display the direction in which the external device is located. Other exemplary embodiments may also be possible.
