Hi @Goytas, I have translated your question to English since this an English only forum.

You can update the software in your device with the help of a computer and the program Xperia Companion which is available both for Windows and MacOS if you do not have access to a Wi-Fi network.

Download and install the program on your computer > connect your phone to the computer > Click on "Software update" in the Xperia Companion program.

Let me know if that helps!

make sure that "What's new" and "Software Update" are both set to update applications on mobile data. Then make sure they are not Data Restricted.

SETTINGS» Data Usage» Cellular Data Usage

Apps that have "Restricted" will have limited connectivity... You can also use this method to create a "Pseudo-Firewall" to prevent apps using data.

There is a similar setting for the Play Store, and there is a global override for System Updates in Developer Options

Hi again, I apologize for the late reply.

You can update these applications using mobile data, do make sure that they are not restricted from using mobile data as @NeoBeum wrote.

I would however advice to update these applications using Wi-Fi if you have a subscription plan that does include a big data plan.
