Description

Describe the bug

Notification feature seems to have its own settings that the user cannot access within the settings menu. When the user searches settings for Notifications they are taken to Experimental, where there are no notification settings. This is confusing to offer an additional group of settings from the kebab menu, that are not offered within the settings menu along with every other setting.

Expected behavior

Please let a user find these settings under the regular settings menu.
Please also support a user that doesnt want to have to hunt for the setting and instead uses Settings- Search.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue from the wallet view: open the three-dot menu, enter Settings, and search for “notif” to trace the result into Experimental. Done means notification settings are reachable from the regular settings menu and returned by Settings search, rather than directing users to an empty Experimental section.
