By looking at their map of mobile data cost [0] across the world I understood something that I find annoying in many apps.

Whenever there's a big file to download/upload the app will not download it unless I'm connected to a WiFi network. There's often a hidden settings that can disable this but I never understood why WiFi was considered a better choice for big file downloads.

Very often my 4G network is faster than the WiFi I have access to and with 100Go of data (for 20€) each month it's basically unlimited.

But from the map 100Go would be $1237 in the US ?
