Show indication of pending uploads even for auto-upload
Use case People using auto-upload are sometimes confused and think data will be lost if the internet connection is not working at the moment (see e.g. https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/6236). Indication of pending data (like when shown for users with disabled auto-upload) would be beneficial to show that app can continue to work even when offline.
Proposed Solution Perhaps that number of pending changes could be shown even if people are using auto-upload. But perhaps it should not be done unconditionally, as that might be annoying and confusing (as in regular use counter would be shown and then disappear within a second or so).
Perhaps the pending-changes counter could only shown with auto-upload if upload was attempted but failed, or if there is more than one change pending, or if it updated element/note was not uploaded in several seconds or something? Any of those would avoid such flickering, while providing indication of pending uploads in cases when Internet is not available.
