- thewebguyd 5mo agoI can't believe this still isn't a thing outside of GrapheneOS. Being able to revoke network permissions is a fundamental security and privacy tool that's willfully left out of both Android and iOS. There's zero reason not to include it as a toggle.

Add a separate one for non-cellular (iPadOS can connect via Ethernet), and/or a “disallow all” toggle. We are partly there in spirit with App Transparency keeping track of the IPs and hostnames apps connect to.
