How to Block internet access for an app any Android

Blocking apps using your Android settingsScroll down and select "Apps & notifications." Tap on the app you want to block from accessing the internet. Select "Mobile data & Wi-Fi." Toggle off the switch next to "Background data" to prevent the app from using data when running in the background.

To block internet access for an app on Android, you can use the built-in settings or third-party apps. Here's a general guide using Android's built-in settings:

1. Open **Settings** on your Android device.
2. Go to **Apps** or **Application Manager** (this may differ depending on your device).
3. Find and select the app you want to restrict.
4. Tap on **Data Usage**.
5. Here, you can toggle off **Background Data** to prevent the app from using data in the background.
6. If available, you can also toggle off **Mobile Data** and **Wi-Fi** to restrict access completely.

Please note that the exact steps can vary depending on your Android version and device manufacturer. If your device doesn't support these settings, you might need to use a third-party app like NetGuard.

Remember, restricting an app's internet access might affect its functionality, so use this feature as needed. If you need more detailed instructions or help with a specific device, feel free to ask!
