The next major OneUI update will merge ‘Data Usage’ and ‘SIM Card Manager’ with additional settings like changing SIM name and colour.
There’s also the Mobile Plan section that lets users check the remaining data from their existing pack. The user further notes that the ‘Mobile Hotspot and Tethering’ option has been renamed and redesigned to ‘Tethering & Portable Hotspot’. Lastly, Mobile Hotspot has been renamed to Wi-Fi hotspot in the new beta update.
