1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing thereon sequences of computer-executable instructions for automatically identifying underutilized features of an electronic device, the sequences of computer-executable instructions including instructions that instruct at least one processor to:
determine whether one or more feature-activation conditions to activate at least one underutilized feature are met;
activate the at least one underutilized feature responsive to determining that the one or more feature-activation conditions are met;
determine whether at least one underutilized-feature trigger is satisfied, wherein the at least one underutilized-feature trigger includes the at least one underutilized feature being activated;
identify, responsive to determining that the at least one underutilized feature has been activated, the at least one underutilized feature of the electronic device as being underutilized;
identify the at least one underutilized feature of the electronic device to a user of the electronic device; and
store an indication of the identification of the at least one underutilized feature of the electronic device to the user.
