Block certain apps from using mobile data?

[prodigy1814]

Can I block specific apps from using my mobile data? For example, I want Instagram to only work when I'm on a wi-fi network. Any app that can do this? Thanks for any solutions!!!

Edit: Found an app that does it with no rooting required. Mobiwol.

Onavo Count also has this feature, it's a data monitoring app.

Where? I have it installed and can't find any functionality that limits cellular data access by application.

You can turn off mobile data

This might be part of 7.0 core... At least it's in my Nexus 6P. I can selectively allow apps to use mobile data.

Not that it might help you on your phone, of course, but it's one of those overlooked additions to Android.

On Android:
Step 1
Open Settings and tap Data usage.
Step 2
Scroll down to view a list of your Android apps sorted by data usage. Tap an app to check out detailed usage statistics and disable it from connecting to mobile data in the background.
Step 3
Tap the app(s) you don’t want to connect to mobile data and select Restrict app background data.
