Bug Description
1. Enable/
What happens:
I go to Wi-Fi, but I can't find it anywhere
What should have happened:
There should be an entry to the hotspot UI
This has been reported by people testing hotspots, and I've seen it during guerilla testing.
UX Resolution:
Personal Hotspot is now it's own category under Network: https:/

After investigating how competitors address tethering in settings, it turns out that tethering is neither under wifi nor cellular, but instead has it's own category. I would suggest we adopt the same pattern for our device, as most users will not expect to find this setting under either of those categories. (Competitor screen shots addressed).
