Future Consideration Option to hide IoT Network

Request to add the Hidden option to the new IoT network.
The latest firmware update provided the ability to add a specific IoT network. However, no option to hide this network. With IoT devices to be the most volunerable to hacking, I think this is an oversight.

Really disappointed this feature doesn't exist. It really doesn't make any sense to not have it. Any novice user probably isn't setting up the IoT network anyway, and you can hide the normal network which would have the same theoretical usability problem. Put it under "Advanced" and be done with it. Add a "Make visible for 15 minutes" button and score major points with customers.
I'm sure this would take a single dev one day to add.
Thanks!

What a disappointment reading on this post when there's a requirement.
It was since 2023, and now its 2025! I think @Riley_S should also had been resigned
FYI - I just managed to get the your Wifi Tapo network slightly stable after dividing my to 3 SSID's group (WIFI, IOT, Guest) & even upgraded to 6x Deco from 3x Deco last month ago.
Now I feel really stupid because that TPlink is not moving forward & being stay competitive.
If you can get the 3 seperate group of SSID channels, just a little option to hide the network from discoverable instead of selling your software which still giving hacking devices spoofing the hardward.
Your marketing/product developer can talk whatever you want and appologies whichever you would.
I may just look forward for other brands in near future after your product is out of warranty if this not resolved.
Goodluck & Thank you.
