I, often, find myself wondering what all these WiFi’s are on my phone and I think it would be useful to be able to set a nickname for a wifi network so to remember which one is which. For example “parents house” etc. What do you think?

    I honestly doubt people are gonna be using it. At least I wouldn’t. When I turn it on it auto connects to whatever is stored so I hardly go into the setting and look at it let alone set a nickname. The only use I could think of is you wanna clear the old ones for some odd reason and you can’t remember what it is. This could also be done in just a notepad if you find yourself doing it often and even if you don’t, just delete it and add it back if required. It’s such a small use case which isn’t with taking time away from more useful features. Just my opinion.

        Nothing is “easy” to implement. This is a whole ass OS not someone’s passion project. If nobody needs it then it’s a bloat not a feature. Nobody would wanna waste their time on something useless when they have so much better things to do.

        android is actually open-source, so you could implement this yourself and make a pull request
