Show type of Internet connection
Similar to the battery status, we could display the current type of connection being used by the smartphone to connect to the Internet:
- Mobile: Show the service provider name and connectivity
- WiFi: Show the name of the WiFi and connectivity
It should be noted that, like the battery status, a non-persistent connection will alleviate the benefit somewhat since the information will not be up to date. What we might do is (optionally) persist the connection if the client is in the foreground.

We could also show the age of the information (last updated: 37 minutes ago).
That takes way too much UI space.
Why not push an update from the Threema app in case this info changes?

On hover of course.

Because a non-persistent connection means that the app doesn't need to be running all the time. Apps that don't run cannot actively listen for things like network or battery level changes :wink:
