Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
On desktop the menu is on the left, so arrows to the right make sense to show which item is active. On mobile, the menu is at the top and the content at the bottom. When I first clicked on the menu on mobile, I didn't see the actual settings at the bottom and nothing was happening aside from the arrow changing direction. It looked like something was meant to expand but isn't.
Describe the solution you'd like
The buttons for the settings submenus could be a bit more condensed, so it is immediately obvious the content below is changing. The arrows on the settings submenus might need a replacement as well, as there is nothing to the right of those buttons.

Research direction
Start by locating the mobile settings menu entry point and reproducing the submenu behavior at a narrow viewport. Review how submenu buttons and arrows are presented, then verify that condensed controls make the content below visibly accessible and that the indicators make sense in the top-menu layout.
