A query is sent from a client device to a server for tips to functionality of the client device. The query can include information, such as a device type, e.g., iPhone vs. iPad. The server can provide tips that are appropriate for the client device. The client device can provide additional filtering of the tips, e.g., based on current operating system and device properties, to provide available tips. The client device maintains a list of available tips, and manages the list such that only relevant tips are visible to the user.
