[Feature request] If you could stop treating me like I'm retarded after each system update that would be great [not relevant]

Seriously...

After each one of the previous updates, whenever I would open a Jolla app, usually e-mail, maps, ... I would have to go through "Swipe left to do something, now swipe right to do something else"... I'd be amazed to find a person that after several months of using the phone, and about 20 minutes of downloading and updating it, they actually forgot that you can swipe around.

Now after last update, I opened Peoples app just to get asked if I want to import contacts from accounts that I have already imported contacts from. Importing accounts from gmail/facebook isn't something new, it was implemented from the start, meaning, if I wanted to import them, I would have already imported them by now, and in case I already did import them, all I would get is redundant contact information.

Didn't happen here!

Also not seen either of these (the tutorial-like swipe stuff nor the import contacts). Random thought, I wonder if you've run out of allocatable disk space (if you have developer mode enabled, what does 'btrfs fi show' say when run as root?

This happened once to me after a system update, but not this time. I wonder what causes it.

Not everyone has had their Jolla for several months, there are newcomers as well :) Those tutorials are useful, if the whole Sailfish experience is new to you. To longer- term users like us they may seem unnecessary, but they are easily dismissed, so they shouldn't be that big a problem.

This is intended for the first application use. Nothing personal, I guess ;) It is shown only once for each view and is based on feedback from users. If those hints are shown for the same view after each update it can be a bug.

I can recommend you to notice is it shown once for each separate view during device lifetime ("factory reset" resets countdown), e.g. "People import" hint is shown more than once. If hints are shown more than once for each separate view it can be bug.

The new "Swipe up to access notifications" animation in the lock screen seems to be shown every time a notification icon is tapped. I think that too should go away after a couple of times, as it's not a subtle UI hint but a long and slow tutorial-type animation. (Or: After the first few times, drop the caption and show the moving circle only once.)
