Yes you can monitor which app eats what, and probably circumvent this with a vpn layer, but sometimes I just wish I would be able to pause an app's access to the net

GOS let's you set network access

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I remember some particular apps not liking that one. Basically it exposes the permission that's otherwise always granted, and if the developers didn't make a catch all for network errors, the app crashes. Mobile data usage → allow network access favors better in that regard.

Not only this, but AFAIK grapheneos allowing you to block this permission is one of the main reasons why google refuses to "certify" the os for some things (like GPay).
