Before 1.16.100 I was able to connect to realms whenever I wanted using my phone's data plan and now I am being told by the game a WiFi connection is required. I have the "use data" toggled on in the setting under profile.

Same i can't connect to world or server. My friend who uses mobile data cannot join my world anymore. This was not an issue before the update. Actually this happens right after the update
