It should have a built-in option to show me the devices who are connected to my hotspot (not settings shortcut)! I'm using aosp, not having the ability to see this at phone settings. Please make it work...

Hotspot automatically turns off after some time even though I set it for 24 hours. I purchased the pro version for this feature but to no avail.
