Description postix 2021-11-24 15:48:12 UTC
#### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. "Hamburger Menu" -> Add new device
2. "Three dots context menu" -> Trusted network  

#### OBSERVED RESULT
The list of `trusted networks` is empty.

#### SUMMARY
You can either "allow all" or somehow add WiFi to the list Trusted networks. 
I searched on the web and I have absolutely no idea how to make my local wifi a "trusted network". 

It would be very convenient
1) to add some help text where to look
2) to add a button which opens the appropriate Android setting
3) or even better the ability to (un)mark the current network as `trusted` within KDEConnect


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Android 12 (Pixel 4a)

Came across this while looking for another bug and I think this one might just be a diplicate of bug 436904
I.e. you might not be missing the obvious, you might be missing the button entirely like I am.
