1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining, by a device, a physical location of a sensor on the device;
determining a quality threshold based at least in part on historical device usage data associated with a device-user, the historical device usage data indicating a pattern of obstruction of the sensor by the device-user;
determining, by the device, that quality of data captured by the sensor physically located on the device is degraded based on a comparison of the captured data to the quality threshold; and
in response to determining that the quality of the data captured by the sensor is degraded, displaying a visual indicator on a display of the device, wherein the visual indicator includes at least one non-textual component that directs the device-user to the physical location of the sensor on the device.
