Description
Currently, the only way to manage categories and tags in the app is to add or remove them from individual posts in the post options (in the editor). Users regularly request a way to manage (edit/delete) categories and tags outside of the editor.
Calypso currently has category/tag management in the site's General Settings: https://wordpress.com/settings/writing
You can add a new category/tag, and edit, delete, set as default, and view posts using each category or tag:
It would be nice to have similar category/tag management in the app.
Equivalent iOS issue: https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/issues/6873
Tested on Nexus 9, Android 7.1.1, WPAndroid alpha-39.
