The `allowSyncingOnMobileNetwork` list item in Profile > Messaging was hidden with `visible: false` pending validation. The backend toggle (getSyncingOnMobileNetwork) is fully implemented and working. Removing the visibility guard exposes the setting so users can opt into Wi-Fi-only syncing and avoid LTE radio drain from Waku keepalives.

I think we were waiting for new designs, because the current UX was not great |

I also think the corresponding backend has been nerfed, right @noeliaSD ? SO the switch wouldn't really do anything |

Problem
The "Message syncing" setting in Profile > Messaging (allows users to restrict sync to Wi-Fi only) has been hidden behind
visible: falsesince v2.38. The backend implementation (getSyncingOnMobileNetwork) is complete and works correctly.Battery research (#21045) shows that on cellular (LTE), the Waku keepalive traffic makes Status the dominant battery consumer at ~144 mAh/hr (~3.2%/hr on a 4500 mAh battery) for a typical loaded account. Users who enable Wi-Fi-only syncing avoid this entirely — dropping from ~144 mAh/hr to ~1.6 mAh/hr (59.7× reduction, measured T4 vs T3 soaks).
Change
Remove
visible: falsefromallowSyncingOnMobileNetworkinMessagingView.qml.One line deletion. The setting, its toggle popup, and the backend save/load are all already implemented and tested.
