I, often, find myself wondering what all these WiFi’s are on my phone and I think it would be useful to be able to set a nickname for a wifi network so to remember which one is which. For example “parents house” etc. What do you think?
“SSID FROM FF7”
You shall suffer my ridiculous ssid.
I honestly doubt people are gonna be using it. At least I wouldn’t. When I turn it on it auto connects to whatever is stored so I hardly go into the setting and look at it let alone set a nickname. The only use I could think of is you wanna clear the old ones for some odd reason and you can’t remember what it is. This could also be done in just a notepad if you find yourself doing it often and even if you don’t, just delete it and add it back if required. It’s such a small use case which isn’t with taking time away from more useful features. Just my opinion.

I think it would be better to save WiFi geolocation, so you can view it on a map, and you don’t need to type anything.
Google location service already saves WiFi and Bluetooth locations to use them for indoor navigation, but there is no way to view that data.
Why do you want to remember which one is which? Don’t they just connect automatically when in range?
Gotta agree with this comment. If it’s an unknown network, and you don’t know the password, you can’t connect anyways, so who cares what it’s called. And what additional insight is gained by labeling your parents wifi ‘parents house’ when you know you can only use it at their house?
