App Download Preference (Play Store) auf Xiaomi
Xiaomi phones rely on the standard Play Store settings to decide how apps and updates get fetched, but the practical effect depends on your data plan and Wi-Fi habits.
Why apps download over mobile data
Before starting any install or update, the Play Store checks a single setting called App download preference. If it is set to Over any network, the store uses mobile data whenever Wi-Fi is unavailable or weak, even for large app files.
How to change the setting
Tap on Play Store ➔ Tap on Google account ➔ Tap on Settings ➔ Tap on General ➔ Tap on App download preference. Choose Over any network, Over Wi-Fi only or Ask me every time, then confirm with Tap on Done.
Which option fits you
Over Wi-Fi only blocks downloads on mobile data completely, useful with a small data plan. Ask me every time shows a prompt before each download, handy if you switch networks often. Over any network suits unlimited or generous plans.
The change only applies to future downloads and updates. Anything already queued keeps using the connection that was active when it started.
