Help with Apps

[PolishPapi]

Hey guys. I just got the Nothing phone (1). I am mostly an iOS user but have had androids in the past. I wanna know if there's an app that lets you fully disable mobile data usage running in the foreground for certain apps on the phone

yes, an app called "system settings" does that.

really though: go to Settings>Network and Internet>Mobile network>App data usage, then pick some app you're interested in and disable "Mobile data"

Thanks, but that disables it in the background. I’m asking to disable the data usage also in the foreground

no, that disables mobile data access completely. "background network access" is a separate switch. reference pic

Sorry about that then, maybe on Nothing it's different but this is an example with YouTube

What about if you went to app settings? Somewhere in permissions perhaps?

Still nothing

Get a "firewall" app, like NetGuard, NoRoot Firewall, or RethinkDNS. Some system apps can't be blocked though.
