You can disable an app's ability to connect via mobile data in Settings, though that doesn't solve the issue for using the app + wifi.
- netheril96 10y agoOn iOS 10 you can disable either or both cellular and Wi-Fi access for selected apps.
- chrizel 10y agoHow can this be set in iOS 10? I can only find the option to disable cellular for apps.
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoI am not seeing that option. Where is it located?
- Benjamin_Dobell 10y agoOn a related note. On Android "android.permission.INTERNET" is a normal permission and is automatically granted without prompting the user. However, it's explicitly included in an APK's manifest (use-permission) and Google's tools inject this automatically on your behalf. Does anyone know what happens if you remove the permission from an APK's manifest with apktool etc? For piece of mind it'd be nice to disable Internet access for certain apps. EDIT: I know there are solutions when rooted, and also virtual VPN solutions when not rooted. However, in the latter case you have to trust the VPN with all your traffic.
