Network access restriction is not possible in Samsung devices

[_Patricj]

• Very happy after getting my Samsung Galaxy A35 5G. But I have a problem using any third party apps. After all there's no phone that comes with every app. The Samsung default apps are very useful and usable. They contain zero ads.

I have one great problem. After switching to Samsung I was very hyped up and had been excited for this but now I'm stuck with having to tolerate ads on every third party app I mggrietinstall. This is mainly because these apps have unlimited access to data and wifi usage.

I have used others  devices my whole life. It's not for competitive reasons but they are winning, literally. An option to restrict network access to apps is very useful. Some apps & games work very well offline. 

I used to enjoy having it.

Here's a demonstration of what I'm talking about.

Looking forward to having this feature included in future updates.

We have that option, see the picture.

On Samsung phones the choice is mobile data, wifi or both. There is a way round it, select an app for mobile data, switch mobile data off and use wifi, or do it the other way round.

If you select Wi-Fi only, turn off mobile data, and don't connect to Wi-Fi, the app will be offline.

Background data usage can be turned off for each app: Settings>Apps> tap app info> mobile data>turn off background data usage

This is so annoying. The function exists in stock Android. Samsung actively removes it.
