In Samsung’s One UI, there’s a handy feature that allows you to tailor network preferences for individual apps. Whether you want an app to use Wi-Fi exclusively, rely on mobile data only, or switch between both networks, this feature gives you control. Let’s explore how to set it up!
Step-by-Step Guide: Customizing App Networks
Open Settings:
Go to your device’s Settings app.
Navigate to Data Usage:
Tap on Connections.
Select data usage.
Choose “Allowed Networks for Apps”:
Look for the option called “Allowed networks for apps”.
Tap on it.
Customize App Preferences:
You’ll see a list of installed apps.
For each app, choose one of the following options:
Wi-Fi only: The app will use Wi-Fi exclusively. Whether wifi is turned on or off.
Mobile data only: The app will use mobile data only. Weather mobile data is turned on or off.
Both Wi-Fi and mobile data: The app can use either network.
Save Your Preferences:
Make sure to save your changes.
Conclusion: Now you can fine-tune how your apps access networks. Whether you’re conserving mobile data or ensuring a seamless Wi-Fi experience, the “Allowed Networks” feature has you covered. Enjoy a customized app experience on your Samsung device!
No, not completely turn off internet access, it would have been very useful though, but you can decide if you want to use it on wifi or mobile network.
The ability to specify network preferences per application - like Samsung's One UI feature - could be valuable for Hyperions Network operations. This level of control would allow:
Mission-critical systems to maintain connectivity through automatic failover
Bandwidth-heavy applications to be restricted to WiFi when available
Sensitive data transfers to be limited to secured connections
While consumer devices offer basic versions of this, businesses like Hyperions Network typically implement more advanced solutions through enterprise-grade routers and network management tools that apply similar principles at scale. The core idea remains the same: optimizing connectivity by application needs rather than using one-size-fits-all network settings.
