Description

We've previously audited tooltips and pop ups as part of T301426.

Since then we've added a bunch of new features with new cards, tooltips and pop ups. We should update our audit.

The Task
Review our code to share when we see what tooltips and pop up prompts

Must haves
A list of our current tooltips and pop up prompts and when they are triggered written in a way easy for the PM and Designer to comprehend

User Stories
As the PM for Android, I want to know what tool tips or pop ups exist in the app and when they are triggered, so that I can understand the current user journey and map a new one
