This is an important feature in GrapheneOS. You can deny network access for any app.
same for other ROMs
Yeah, /e/OS too, and so I assume also LineageOS and the rest.
Oh? Where is the setting?
Nice!
Go to Settings, then Apps. Choose your app and then select mobile data usage (or similar, since I translated this from german). There you can find a switch for disallowing network access for the app. Works great
Oh, you're right. I guess I've only gone through the permissions and not the mobile data entry in the menu. Thanks.
(I don't use my old e tablet often anyway. It's old.)
~~Is it only Graphene? I vaguely recall having had it on DivestOS (RIP), which was a Lineage fork.~~
Edit: Any app, duh, yes, silly me. Don't remember if it was possible for all of them.
Not all built-in apps had that option but for everything else you can.
