4g still being used when in wifi?

Hey everyone, have a question about my phone. When I put it in wifi my 4g bar is still up. Is this normal? Is my phone using both at the same time? My last couple smartphones have been Samsung's so I'm not very used to htc.
I have attached the picture

It's normal. Moto hides the icon too when connected to WiFi but I guess HTC chooses to do it different. That said, if you're connected to WiFi, it's not using your data connection. Only thing the phone would use data for when connected to WiFi would be text messages. You need data for them.

Thanks, I figured that was the case!

Can't find the Wi-Fi notifications setting

Hello! Recently (probably after the latest update) I've been getting Wi-Fi notifications whenever I turn on Wi-Fi in an area with no saved hotspots. I know that in order to turn it off there's a setting in Connections > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Network Settings as per this image:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However, that setting is nowhere to be found for me. I can't find it with the search function, and the Wi-Fi settings looks like this:
Does anyone know what happened to the notification setting? I am certain it used to be here, since I've disabled it before. I also use a European G955F model, if that's relevant.
Thanks!

Get Hotspot Quick Setting?

Is there anyway to get a quick settings tile back for hotspot? I often use it and it would be so much faster to not have to go into settings. I've been away from Samsung for a few years but remember it was removed (for certain carriers, I believe) a few years back but that there was a way to get it back. Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

I'm unlocked on Sprint. I still have my hotspot. Maybe you can use Tasker toggle for this?

same issue on Motorola Edge 5g Android 10, can you send a list of your installed apps so maybe we can figure out which one it is?

i searched on the internet and it seems like it's the wifi hotspot, but no confirmation yet

Used hotspot for the past hour, might be hotspot or something else

Always-on VPN not showing VPN in list

Hi,
I am trying to connect to a vpn clearly in my list of VPN and am unable to use the always on VPN feature.
I am using an old phone as a ip webcam hence the old version of android but it should still work.
Have tried, forgetting and reconnecting to vpn, a different vpn app restarting, shutting down and letting it sit for a while and pray it works when it turn on but no luck.
Using a sony z3 compact with android 6.0.1 on it, no sim card inserted just wifi.
see image of VPN clearly in the list but not comming up when trying to select it for always on.
