## Expected behavior

Users can disable profiles.

## Actual behavior

Users cannot disable profiles in DC-Android and DC-iOS. In DC-Desktop, an experimental feature makes it possible to deactivate all profiles except the one currently selected.

## Explanation

I think it can make sense, especially for users with many profiles to temporarily disable individual profiles in order to save data and battery life while on the go.

Maybe active profiles could be marked with a green dot in DC-Android and DC-iOS. DC-Desktop already shows one if the pointer hovers over it.
