How To Disable Internet Data For Specific Apps

restrict android data

Internet on mobile is now the important part of life. Everyone has a mobile phone or a smartphone with the internet connection. But sometimes we need the data should be off for a specific app. If we do not want that app should consume the data, we are forced to off the main data which is really hard for us. Suppose you don’t want to receive messages on WhatsApp, then you can do this little setting in your phone and you can off the data only for WhatsApp. Isn’t it cool? Fortunately, you do not need any other software to do this. You can easily change the settings in Android as all versions of android has this setting. Have a look.


We will talk about Jellybean and Lollipop. In KitKat, the procedure is similar. You can do by just reading the steps carefully. These all settings are usually ignored, but these settings are great in usability. Let us see how we can disable app internet without using any third party app in Jelly Bean version of Android.



 

Disable Internet of Specific Apps in Jelly Bean

  • First of all, go to “Settings” via notification tray or tapping the icon.
  • Click on “Data Usage”.

  • If you are using dual SIM, click on that network which you use for internet access.
  • A list of apps will be shown. Search for your app which you want to disable.

  • Select the app and scroll down a little. Check “Restrict background data”.
Disable data for whatsapp
  • Done! Now that specific app cannot use data in background.
Easy isn’t it? If you open that app, the app will use the data. But when you close the app, it cannot use data and hence your goal is achieved!
To do the similar thing in Lollipop OS, do the following. Steps are same!

Disable Internet of Specific Apps in Lollipop.

  • Go to the settings section of your phone.
  • Click on “Data Usage”.
Lollipop settings
  • A list will appear. Select your desired app which you to turn off internet in the background.

  • After selecting, turn on “Restrict app background data”.
