If a device (s) is connected to the phone's Hotspot, it would be nice if the colour of the status bar changes to Blue or some other fixed colour, showing clearly if the phone's Hotspot is being actively used.

Just as the status bar turns green when the dialer is in use!

 

The colour must be blue or some other fixed colour to clearly indicate active use of Hotspot.

 

That way, if a device disconnects from our phone, it would also be known from the status bar, something currently not possible.

 

At the moment, the hotspot icon on status bar only indicates that it is turned on, but nothing about whether there is an active connection.

Na... Imo It's unnecessary 🤔

Many things are unnecessary, but they are made available. More importantly, this is a matter of personal choice. So an option to that effect under Settings would be nice.

Instead of changing colours, it would be better if there was a silent notification showing how many devices are connected...
.
There are other phones which which show this in notification... Samsung don't

That too would be nice.

Given how OneUI is spoken about as being feature rich, I find quite a few useful features missing.
