A method includes, while a user device is using a first presentation mode to present content to a user, obtaining a current state of the user of the user device. The method also includes, based on the current state of the user, providing, as output from a user interface of the user device, a user-selectable option that when selected causes the user device to use a second presentation mode to present the content to the user. The method further includes, in response to receiving a user input indication indicating selection of the user-selectable option, initiating presentation of the content using the second presentation mode.

A method includes determining whether an application has previously been executed by a computing device. The method includes, responsive to determining that the application has not previously been executed by the computing device, determining, by the application, contextual information associated with the computing device. The method also includes determining, based at least in part on the contextual information, content to include in at least one template graphic user interface of a plurality of template graphical user interfaces for an onboarding tutorial of the application. At least one template graphical user interface is associated with at least one feature of the application. The method also includes generating, based on the at least one template graphical user interface and the content, at least a first graphical user interface of the onboarding tutorial. The method further includes outputting an indication of the first graphical user interface of the onboarding tutorial.

Dynamically generating custom application onboarding tutorials

A method includes determining, by an application executing at a computing device, based at least in part on a respective amount of usage of each settings category from a plurality of settings categories, a respective relevancy score for the corresponding settings category. The method also includes determining, by the application, based on the respective relevancy scores, a respective display position for each settings category within an application settings graphical user interface. The method further includes, responsive to determining a display position of each settings category, generating, by the application, based on the display positions of each settings category, the application settings graphical user interface including a respective representation of at least one settings category in the plurality of settings categories at the corresponding display position. The method also includes outputting, by the application, for display at a display device, an indication of the application settings graphical user interface.

Dynamically generating custom sets of application settings

A method includes determining whether an application has previously been executed by a computing device. The method includes, responsive to determining that the application has not previously been executed by the computing device, determining, by the application, contextual information associated with the computing device. The method also includes determining, based at least in part on the contextual information, content to include in at least one template graphic user interface of a plurality of template graphical user interfaces for an onboarding tutorial of the application. At least one template graphical user interface is associated with at least one feature of the application. The method also includes generating, based on the at least one template graphical user interface and the content, at least a first graphical user interface of the onboarding, tutorial. The method further includes outputting an indication of the first graphical user interface of the onboarding tutorial.
