KDE Connect app

Sometimes the phone and the PC connection doesn't start, making a refresh needed. To do this in KDE Connect, the user must close the app and relaunch it or use the KCM in System Settings > KDE Connect, which has a refresh button.

It doesn't seem to be a duplicate, this one is about the Linux PC version, the other one is about the Android version.

I know but it is the exact same functionality. If it is something convenient for Windows users i guess it is also convenient for Linux users. I imagine also that the implementation of a wish for a useful feature applies to both OSs

FWIW there already seem to be a swipe-to-refresh feature on Android (though maybe it doesn't work in all circumstances?), while there's no easily accessible refresh feature in the Plasma applet or systray entry. And AFAIUI they are completely separate codebases, at least the UI. So if the only open bug report is for Android, I expect a developer might see that it's already implemented on Android, and close it as such. But I'm not involved in the development, so I'm not the one to decide how you prefer to track bug reports.
