How to disable internet permission

[aj3423]

The internet permission can be disabled in system settings, the option can be found in different locations.

For some devices:

• Long press the app icon on the screen
• App info or the ⓘ icon
• Mobile data & WiFi
• Disable options like Enable WiFi connection and Enable mobile connection

For Samsung:

• System settings
• Connections
• Data usage
• Manage app data
• Select SpamBlocker
• Change Network connection method to Off

If your phone doesn't have such options, you can also download the no-internet-permission-apk from the release page, which is built by the github action, it's a bit larger and non-reproducible though.

Are you sure about the Samsung instructions? I can't find such an option, OneUI 5.1; Android 13.

OneUI 6.1
Android 14

If it doesn't exist, maybe try searching for "app data" or "data usage" in the system settings.

Ahh, you meant this. I only have WiFi/mobile data to choose from, I guess it's a OneUI 6 thing.

I have the same on OneUI 6.1, probably options availability depends on firmware region:

Interesting, same version with different UI.

I'll try to write an action script for building an apk without internet permission, so you can build it yourself with one mouse click.

Or even better, it's now available in the release page, this action build is a bit larger and non-reproducible though.
