There is no option to use Mobile data to download software updates as you should already be able to do so. I have an S20 Plus and I have downloaded many software updates over mobile data with no issues.

Try turning that toggle Off that says Auto Download Over Wi-Fi 

 


Daily Driver > Samsung Galaxy s²⁴ Ultra 512Gb ~ Titanium Black.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.

That's a conundrum as I always use Mobile Data to update my phone's software when it becomes available @Nabz1

Which carrier are you with @Nabz1 as this maybe a contributing factor.

I'm on o2 with a 100Gb Payg data allowance.

I always update my phone's software using Mobile Data.

Have you tried a Google Search  ?

When you tap on the update button can you screen shot what it says or does that screen pop up straightway that you've already supplied @Nabz1 

I know you can change the settings when updating apps via the Playstore to work over Wi-Fi or Mobile Data but updating the phone's own software should let you do it over Wi-Fi or Mobile Data as long as the signal is strong enough.

I see 5G is on.

Just as a process of elimination can you go into Settings,  Connections and switch to 4G to see if that makes a difference.
