   Here is a screenshot I made for this post, just moments ago.   
       
   In the status bar are icons for 4G (inside), 5G (outside) & Wi-Fi (both).   
      
   When all three are available (LTE, 5G, and WiFi) mine shows 3 icons at top.   
   When it's using LTE or 5G it shows which it likes - but it also shows Wi-Fi.   
      
   How can I tell, instantaneously, when the radio is using the cellular   
   (either 4G or 5G) versus when it's instantaneously using the Wi-Fi instead?
