How to disable data for individual apps? I am using an Android 4.4, and I would like to know how to disable the wifi connection for only certain apps? Is there a third party app out there that can perform this function?
The exact method will change depending on your version of Android and phone model, but it should be more or less the same.


Go to Settings > Data usage (or mobile network) > Network restrictions (or Mobile hotspots)
Turn your WiFi networks into mobile hotspots or metered connections by checking them/moving the sliders.
Go back to your Data Usage / Mobile Network settings page and tap the app you would like to restrict
Scroll down and select Disable background data


This is more of a workaround, and you will have to set every WiFi network you connect to as a metered connection.

Depending on which phone you use, you may be able to root it and completely stop an app from accessing the internet.
