If you want to be online, but want to block internet to certain apps like work apps, messaging apps etc, and continue using rest of your apps, you can do it using this app.
And no,this is not an ad. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.tuantv.android.netblocker
In my graphene os settings I can toggle a permission that a app doesn’t have internet access anymore
You should be able to go into App Info>Mobile Data & Wifi and disable network access without installing anything on the latest versions of Android if I am not mistaken.
You can also use apps like Shelter to create work and personal profiles if you want to cleanly separate the two.
You can’t use it with a VPN.
Yes. Honestly I wish more VPNs were having this as a built-in feature.
TrackerControl on FDroid gives you the ability to block trackers only but let the app access internet of block the app completely from the internet.
I can do it on my Poco f3 without any app. There is “Restrics data usage” in each app settings.
I wish more VPN apps had this feature built in.
True.
