Description
Expected behavior
Support documentation at https://apps.wordpress.com/support/mobile/domains/how-can-i-change-my-site-address-or-domain/ states that you should be able to navigate to My Site > More > Domains > Add Domain and "follow the prompts to connect your existing domain."
Actual behavior
There is no prompt to connect an existing domain. Clicking "Add a domain" leads to the "register a domain" page. Clicking "All Domains" instead and then the + button has an option to transfer a domain, but not connect.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Navigate to My Site > More > Domains.
- Click "Add a domain" or "ALL" (at the top-right).
- For "Add a domain": see that the page is labeled
Register Domainand there is no option to connect an existing domain, even after searching for an existing domain. - For "ALL": click the + button at the top-right, and again see that there's no option to connect an existing domain name.
Tested on Pixel 9, Android 14, JPAndroid v25.2.1 (1444)

Research direction
Reproduce the flow on Android from My Site > More > Domains, using the reported Pixel 9, Android 14, and JPAndroid v25.2.1 details. Compare the Add Domain and All Domains paths with the linked support documentation; the issue is done when users can find an option to connect an existing domain rather than only register or transfer one.
