I'm getting the message Device simulation changes require a reload to fully apply. Automatic reloads are disabled by default to avoid losing any changes in DevTools. You can enable reloading via the Settings menu.

I've looked through all the settings, searched for reload and still found no way to enable this. Googling it brings up answers from years ago that are clearly out of date. Where can I currently find this setting?

Is this about using Responsive Design Mode ? You can click the gear icon on its toolbar to open the RDM settings menu and find the Reload items.
