Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Connect to wifi
  2. Enable "low data mode" in settings of connected wifi
  3. Open Nextcloud app with pending synchronization jobs (e.g. Photo sync).
Expected behaviour

No automatic syncs should happen.

Actual behaviour

Nextcloud syncs the data.

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

Low data mode is intended for wifi networks, which don‘t provide much bandwith or have volume limitations. Therefore, no automatic data transfers should be triggered in these networks.

Environment data

iOS version: 15.5

Nextcloud iOS app version: 4.3.1.0

Research direction

The issue provides reproduction steps but no file or test entry point. Start by locating the synchronization scheduling and iOS network-condition handling, then verify that pending jobs do not start automatically in Low Data Mode and resume normally when it is disabled.
