Can't access Secure Auto-Connect on an Xfinity Mobile device

If you’re an Xfinity Mobile customer, you don’t need to use the Secure Auto-Connect for Xfinity WiFi hotspots feature in the Xfinity app. This functionality is already built into the operating system for all Xfinity Mobile devices. It’s not supported in the Xfinity app on Xfinity Mobile devices.
