1. An electronic device configured to communicate with a communication apparatus, the electronic device comprising:
- a connection interface that connects to a battery;
a memory accessible from an external apparatus via a close proximity wireless communication;
at least one processor; and
instructions memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor,cause the electronic device to perform control such that information used in executing one of a plurality of functions including a wireless power receiving function and an application function, is stored in the memory, wherein the wireless power receiving function is a function for receiving power from the external apparatus wirelessly, and wherein the application is a function that consumes power of the battery and requires a remaining battery capacity,wherein, in a case where the remaining capacity of the battery is lower than a predetermined amount, control is performed to store information for executing the wireless power receiving function into the memory and to store information indicating that the electronic device has the application function into the memory,wherein, in a case where the remaining capacity of the battery is equal to or higher than the predetermined amount, control is performed to store information for executing the application function into the memory and to store information indicating that the electronic device has the wireless power receiving function into the memory,wherein an information amount of the information for executing the wireless power receiving function is larger than an information amount of the information indicating that the electronic device has the wireless power receiving function, andwherein an information amount of the information for executing the application function is larger than an information amount of the information indicating that the electronic device has the application function.
