[Suggestion] Change when the first-time user education screen for reading list is shown
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Given that reading list sync has been introduced, maybe it's time for reconsidering when the first time user education screen for reading list is shown. Put simply, I would suggest that the first-time user education screen should be shown only when there are no articles in the user's reading list when he uses the 'Add to reading list' icon for the first time. I guess

Just in case it's not clear what I'm referring to when I say "first-time user education screen of reading lists".

Steps to reproduce

Prerequisite: You have some reading list articles synced to your Wikipedia account.

  1. (Re-)install the app (or clear it's data, if that's simpler than re-installation)
  2. Log-in using your account to the app
  3. Visit any article possibly God
  4. Tap on the 'Add to reading list' icon

Expected results

The first user-education screen for reading list is not shown as the user already has some articles in his reading lists.

Actual results

The first user-education screen for reading list is shown.
