Abstract: The present disclosure includes techniques for presenting an informative tip on a mobile device. In one embodiment, the method includes generating and presenting an informative tip upon receiving, at an application, a selection by a user of a text field in a user interface displayed on the mobile device. The application retrieves a size of a display of the mobile device and a location and a size of a virtual keyboard of the mobile device from data stored on the mobile device and determines a location on the mobile device display to present an informative tip based on the retrieved mobile device display size and the retrieved virtual keyboard location and size. The application generates an informative tip that includes text content corresponding to the text field and presents the generated informative tip as a pop-up display in the determined location.
