Hi,
First - note that I am not talking about background data. I am talking about restricting individual apps from using data at all while I am actively trying to use the app.
I've been stuck on iOS for a while and am just coming back to android (used to use it years ago). On iOS under the data usage I could control which apps could access my data plan and which could only be used while connected to a WiFi network.
For example, I do not want Spotify to use my data plan at all. I want it to only talk to the server if I am connected to a wifi network. So if I am only on data and I open up Spotify I would not expect to be able to download any new songs.
Does Android have anything similar where I can restrict individual apps from being able to restrict their use of my data plan at all while allowing others (like email, snapchat, etc) to have free reign? Even a 3rd party app that does this would be helpful.
Let me know if I am not being clear enough and I will try to explain better.
