Good to know

  1. The path is Settings → search “Software update” → Software update → menu → Auto download.
  2. Three choices are offered: Never, Using Wi-Fi only (selected here), and Using Wi-Fi or mobile data — the last warns that using mobile data to download may result in additional charges.
  3. The video shows the options but never taps a different one, so no change of setting is demonstrated on screen.
  4. Even with Never or Wi-Fi only, critical updates may still be downloaded using mobile data, and your provider may not allow mobile-data updates in some situations — the page says so.
  5. The recording was made with Dark mode on, so the screenshots are dark.
