While using apps like Mx player Ads pop up due to mobile data being  turned on. My previous Oppo device did let me to completely block data to my player, so ads won't pop up due to my player not receiving internet. I can't find this option in my galaxy M51. if someone know an solution for this please let me know. Thanks 😊

You can use Samsung Max app.
Here are the steps:
1. Open samsung max.
2. Upgrade Plan to premium (its free).
3. Click on Menu option
4. Make sure you are connected
5.Go to mobile
6. Tap on the app which you want to restrict data(I have chosen Chrome.)
7. Turn off the options that i have squared

Actually it acts as VPN, but thing in Android since all data tunnels through VPN server, Android system couldn't differentiate who is consuming Battery, so it add VPN app as consumer instead of original application which is running.
In short term, that 20% battery consumption reported by Android is false.

he is asking about power consumption of Samsung max, not data usage.
