Locally present videos are downloaded from server when opened?

On the Android app, when clicking on a video that's already downloaded on the device (the cloud icon with a tick inside is shown), it seems to download the video from the remote server, potentially using mobile data. I first noticed this on the network usage indicator on the status bar, but checking on Immich's mobile data usage from Android Settings before & after opening the video did indeed confirm this. I'm not sure if the behavior is the same with images, if it is then it doesn't use so much data to be noticeable. There are settings in Immich for "Load original image" and "Prefer remote images", both of them are off. App version on android & on server are both 1.71.0
