I wondered, is the per application network toggle grapheneOS specific? I also recently discovered it and its so nice. Was a bit shocked when I red some indications online that its not a normal android feature?
it's not
I thought it was, but now that I looked into it, it is not. I know that you can use firewall apps to restrict internet access (which I hinted in my original answer), but now that I checked my LineageOS phone again, I see some toggles under Settings → Apps → YourApp → Mobile data usage. I am not sure how this differs from the GOS implementation (apart from the UX), but you do have the toggle.
it's not
Almost every firewall app on F-Droid has it. What Graphene brings to the take is that you don't need root for that.
this isn't correct, on LineageOS you can do that without root
LineageOS has it too.
CalyxOS did/does too
e/OS does this too
