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.

      Yeah but it wouldn’t be that hard to implement so why not

        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

        The question is not ‘why not’, the question is ‘why’? Because you’re still going to have to convince somebody to do it, unless you’re planning to implement it yourself.
