Yes you can monitor which app eats what, and probably circumvent this with a vpn layer, but sometimes I just wish I would be able to pause an app’s access to the net

I use NetGuard for this.
I tried it for a while, but I also use a VPN and you can’t set both
Just dled this. Works great for blocking my Bluetooth rv control app from asking me to make an account!
Yes, that would be a great feature for Privacy and Control
Karma firewall?
Same as netguard, so it can’t be used while another VPN connection is in use
Ohhh. I C. Also I realized it’s not functional on recent versions.
GOS let’s you set network access
I remember some particular apps not liking that one. Basically it exposes the permission that’s otherwise always granted, and if the developers didn’t make a catch all for network errors, the app crashes. Mobile data usage → allow network access favors better in that regard.
If the apps don’t work without network access and they don’t have an obvious need for network access, then I don’t want them on my phone. If that’s the case, then either app is poorly made or it is being used to spy on people with unnecessary telemetry.
