display the geolocalisation icon in the initial setup of the notification zone

  • /e/ version: pie
  • Device model: all

Summary

When opening eOS for the first time some icons are visible in the notification zone and some are not. Since localisation is on by default, this icon should be visible immediately. All the most that it is a crucial setting for privacy. At the moment you have to rearrange the icons to be able to see it.

Other icons could be added too (then there would be two pages of icons).

This improvement concerns

  • UI
  • Privacy

Description

What is the current behavior?

6 icons are immediately visible from the notification zone, and a total of 9 icons are visible when the zone is deployed. The location is not among the 9.

What is the improved behavior?

The icon that allows to switch location on or off should be immediately visible (one of the 6 first).

I suggest the first 6 should be related to privacy (networks) and security : Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile data, Airplane mode, Location and Torch. The 3 next could be : Auto-rotation, Do not disturb and ?

What does it bring?

Obvious way to control privacy
