Research direction
The issue suggests using connectivity plus to detect connectivity type. Look into Saber's existing settings structure (likely in the settings screen) and sync logic. The implementation would involve adding a boolean setting (e.g., 'syncOnlyOnWifi'), checking connectivity before syncing, and updating the UI accordingly. The issue mentions mobile data concerns, so consider platform specific connectivity APIs. Refer to Saber's sync service and settings provider files.
