Is it still the intention to release https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1848953 along with 1830623 as suggested in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1830623#c16 ?
I would put a comment there too, but I don't have permission to comment on closed bugs.

That is still the intent, yes.

Flags: needinfo?(bvandersloot)

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1830623 has been released and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1856029 closed but there is still no sign of activity on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1848953.

This was intended to ship with 1830623; I am very disappointed that they were split into different bugs. Other platforms can get by with just the config settings, but about:config is disabled on release versions for Android, so a GUI option is essential here.

Please make this bug more visible from other GPC bugs.

I'm also disappointed, but unfortunately the engineering experience required to add to a GUI option to Android is distinct enough from my own that I can't really do it without handholding from someone with firefox-android dev experience. We are making the Android team aware of this as a high-benefit item with the hope that they add it shortly.

Please make this bug more visible from other GPC bugs.
How so?

GPC setting is now available in Android Nightly channel. Relevant bugs are linked.
