      Using Moodle site administration options it is possible to disable certain features of the app (via Admin -> Mobile app -> Mobile app features).
      This is widely used because lots of site admins prefer to disable certain features in the app but keeping the same feature enabled in the web version.
      Everytime we add a new feature in the app we try to include a new option in that site settings.

      This is causing some issues because the development and release cycles of both the app and the web version are different, so we can have the following scenarios (among others):

      • New features in the app, like Blogs, available in the app version 3.7 but that works since Moodle 3.6 onwards (and admins won't be able to disable because there is not an admin option for that in 3.6 - there is one in 3.7 though)
      • New features in the app that will be available in the app version 3.7.1 (and admins won't be able to disable because there is not an option in 3.7 for that)

      In this issue, I'm requesting to update one existing Moodle 3.6 admin setting to reflect the new features added in Moodle app 3.7 like rating, blogs and other ones.
