Bug Description

on all the apps that use it (dialer, messaging, address book), we need a way to make the swipe to reveal action more discoverable.

This was listed in usability testing:
messaging-app: Swipe to reveal 'copy' and 'info' options had poor discoverability
dialer-app: message or see the contact information

Suggestions:
- small arrows (< on left side and > on right side) of the list item to inform users that there are actions to be taken
- first time tutorial when the list is empty or when it's populated with first item showing an overlay of how to swipe to reveal more actions

---------- UX comment ------------

The current implementation is an interim solution. There is a major project in progress, which looks at first time experiences throughout the whole platform.

The plan is to educate people about swipe to reveal when an app is launched for the first time, where relevant. Design is looking at ways to unify empty states across the whole platform in order to reuse them in apps.
