I know it got removed on the router but theres still access to it on the app & im just curious if it still works or does it not at all since its not on the router anymore?

It's been moved to Settings > Troubleshooting > Advanced > Developer Options. The mobile app hasn't had an update yet to show this so yes the feature will still work

Why did that among with fast search get moved to there, is that where its inevitably going too on the app next update & is the next mobile app update coming out soon?

When there is an app update yes it will likely show there also, we don't give out ETAs so couldn't say. Mobile app updates usually come out less frequently than firmware updates.

Those 2 options aren't really needed anymore and most people wouldn't need to adjust them. Reason being:

• Strict Mode was implemented specifically for Destiny 2 quite some years ago, the way they do matchmaking now is different and so it's no longer a relevant feature
• Fast Search made Ping Assist work faster at the expense of it allowing servers outside ping limit - we've since improved Ping Assist so it works faster and is more accurate

Disabling strict mode and enabling fast search now would likely cause most people to experience the Geo-Filter 'not working correctly' even though it would be, it's just the features themselves that are not well understood so moving them away prevents people accidently adjusting them and making their Geo-Filter experience worse
