Help How to force all downloads over Wi-Fi only

[Matrix3922]

Hello

I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 mobile phone running Android 12 and I would like to force all apps to carry out any and all downloads over Wi-Fi only and NOT over mobile networks.

Is there a single global setting that I can use to achieve this or would this be a per app setting only?

Thanks

Turn off Mobile Data. You should find that in the home-screen pull-down menu, where you can switch it ON or OFF with one tap.

I tend to always just leave Mobile Data disabled whenever I'm at home.

Another option is to dig through your Settings menu to enable Data Saver mode instead.

This should always prioritize WiFi over cellular for downloads and such.
