Turning off Data for each app specifically

Ajmal Salim — Fri, 03 Mar 2023 07:06:37 GMT

I want to completely disable some apps from using my mobile data, why is there no way to do this without work-arounds. The only thing you can do is disable background usage per app. Which is not a solution to my problem at all.

The only solutions I have found for this problem is either external apps that work using a vpn, or using bixby routines to disable mobile data on certain apps. Why is this feature not on samsung phones natively, Iphones have it, other Androids have it. Why doesn't Samsung, makes me not want to buy a Samsung phone in the future.

If you mean background data usage can be turned off in app settings!

Unfortunately android currently doesn't let you turn off data usage completely individualy for apps as far as im aware, You can only stop individual apps using data in the background.

The only way to stop using data on the app your currently using is to turn off mobile data or connect to a Wi-Fi network.
