One question is why Android is so "dumb" when it comes to this sort of thing. I can set a connection as "metered", whatever that means, but no way to set a limit of max throughput (speed/data) whilst on wifi. Android/Google treats WiFi as an unlimited resource, where the OS can consume as much data as possible (so that all the ad tracker networks don't miss out). Android needs to: 1: Let you disable networking on any app (inc. system) on AOSP 2: Warn you (you know, the 'smart' element of smartphone) when an app consumes an 'unusually' high amount of data - if one app has consumed 200%+ more than any other app maybe, just maybe there should be a notification as such. This is a sad but important reminder 'you' are treated as a disposable resource on Android. You do not get afforded reasonable control measures over your own device, even on GrapheneOS (which does let you disable networking per app, but not control WiFi data consumption). Really, similar to "notification channels" there needs to be "data channels" that can be toggled on/off ("tracking", "updates", "resources") etc. And the user should be able to block at the DNS/app level (tracker detection, similar to Firefox would be nice too)
