Hide SSID from WiFi tile
Issue
On Google Pixel devices you have to enable or disable recording from the notification center. This exposes the network SSID in the recording. The SSID can actually be used to identify ones location thanks to city network scanning, meaning, if you share the recording online, one can lookup your address.
Solution
Add an option to hide the network SSID. It could say "Internet" or "Connected" for example.
Discovered that android 15 added support for detecting when screen capture is active: https://alisubhani313.medium.com/android-15s-screen-recording-detection-27349f8873cf
We could add a setting with multiple options: show, hide, hide during recording
Thoughts?
Why should show and hide be an option? The only relevant toggle is the last.

Recording detection is only available on android 15, so earlier versions wouldn't have that option
I guess you would show the show/hide toggle on A14 and the hide during recording on A15? This would work but may put off people who were on A14 and updated to A15. So perhaps it really is the best option to show all three.
the hide during recording setting is unfortunately not going to work, as the app only detects it when the app is in the foreground... I don't get the callback when screen recording and the quick settings are opened
That's okay. Hiding works fine. Another suggestion for hiding the SSID would be to simply display "Hidden" as the SSID when you are connected
