Does Android show on the homescreen when the UWB location/data radio is on?
My phone doesn't have UWB but Pixels and high end Samsung phones have had
the UWB location/data radios for a few years now (Pixel, Galaxy, Xiaomi).

Given UWB can help track you down to centimeter location detail

it could be important to know when your UWB radio is on or when it's off.
I'm aware of the UWB on/off switch in Android but since I don't have UWB,
what I'd like to know is if the homescreen indicates when the UWB is on?
Pixel 7 Pro, GrapheneOS. There is nothing showing when I flip the UWB
switch from off to on or vice versa. There's also no quick toggle for UWB
that might show the UWB status.
