How to Disable WiFi or mobile data for specific apps?

piyussh07 — Sat, 21 Jan 2023 14:41:56 GMT

The smartphone which I was using before Samsung gave me an option to switch mobile data or Wi-Fi on or off for specific applications but here in s21Fe I am unable to find any such option.

Yes there is an option*Allow background data usage* which I've already put off butit's not working for Wi-Fi.

Please assist : )

Bro it's simple if you want to block apps to use your wifi data.

Go to settings/ connection/ data usage/ mobile data only app and select app that you want to block on your wifi network.

May it work for your problem.

Umm, it's not
It's opening the same settings that is opened from app setting, and that same allow bg data usage, but whenever turned off am still able to receive message from whatsapp. Tried disabling and then enabling again, but no changes

Yes selected apps only use mobile data.

I am not using any such routines as i prefer wifi over data for stable connection bit this is how you can do it..

You can put all the apps that you want to use only mobile data or vice versa.

If this resolves your issue, accept as solution.
