No all internet services support IPv6 which leads to mixed results. Debian Repos, Google, Facebook and I guess some streaming services support IPv6. This is a why Mobian and Debian updates will seem to use mobile data while other usages do not.
that's the case if you do not toggle mobile data switch.
but you could toggle mobile data switch and i recommend to. i do it even in home network.
some devices, like some android, some kaios devices, leave mobile data on even if toggle is off. these devices just firewall mobile data in a way that mobile data is active. hell of nightmare for some cases like roaming. i even heard that iphones have been partially guilty for this.
maybe i test this in pinephone, but i don't think i come to a different conclusion.
