Background
When rolling out the Places feature, we did not do usability testing because we created parity with the iOS app. In retrospect, because the maps are different (Apple Maps vs. OpenStreetMap), there are some affordances and behaviors that may be confusing for users. We want to conduct usability testing to see if there are improvements that should be made to the feature, specifically focused on folks who haven't used Places before.
Research Questions
Should map markers automatically pop up?
Does the tooltip actually help with discovery of the feature?
Consequences of adding new bottom sheet app wide T356246
Is the timing of the survey appropriate?
Should we zoom to where articles are present or current location
Experience for someone that turns on their location sharing vs those that do not
