Problem Statement
On iOS devices, in order for the Cloud application to successfully backup a person's content, the application must be running in the foreground. Once an app on iOS is removed changed from the focused app, the product will go into a stasis mode.
Stasis ≠ Active backup.
Proposed Solution
For the instance of a first time backup, the best time to keep a person engaged is while they are still focused on the app while it begins the inaugural backup. One way to do this is to breakout the list of helpful hints into more graphics segments, thus working to accomplishing 2 things:
1. A more graphical UI with more direct attention brought to each hint will be beneficial to the person; allowing them to focus on each hint at a time.
2. More focused engagement helps the person retain that information by viewing each individual hint separately, not as a text list. The final Helpful Hint suggests that the person should begin to look around the application, and discover any engaging features; this also encourages a person to look around the app, view any content that's been backed up, look at Settings, etc.
In theory, by keeping the person occupied for a longer amount of time, the chances that the chances for a complete and successful first time backup on iOS is increased, thus being more ideal than having to ping the person via notification to continue a paused backup. To help keep focus, animations are added to each graphic element.
