To remove internet access from Nova, in android go to:
Settings->mobile network->data usage->network access
Go to Nova and select "disable network access"
Nova will complain after but functions just fine.
But that does not restrict its access to Wi-Fi networks!
Yes it does.
Unfortunately disabling network access entirely isn't a universal feature.
Well that sucks balls. :( Why would a manufacturer do that?! Bananas.
It is quite annoying. Samsung has trimmed up their bloat and strange customizations over the years, but some things are still incorrect as far as I see them.
NetGuard can manage network access on a per app basis but it uses the VPN function to do so, while not actually being a VPN service. Sadly this means I can't be using an on-device VPN at the same time as turning off app data.
Annoying compromise.
Indeed it isn't universal. My Android phone can't do this.
