stock android 13 doesn't allow you to completely block internet access. :(
only solution now is to use netguard
Do you happen to have a Samsung? I recently learned that stock Android 13 does allow it, but Samsung's OneUI removes this ability. I was absolutely livid when I learned about this.

no, I'm using Motorola. but thanks for the info. won't buy a Samsung in future.
Ah SAD! I think you can use AFWall+ if you have root though. It won't open up a VPN Service unlike Netguard.
rooted user here, any way to make afwall automatically block system apps that dont require internet access?
it does tho?
oh. I don't have it. do you have lineageOS? I'm using Motorola.
Im using Lineage. should be in aosp afaik
I had previously used lineage, on which I was accustomed to it. I know several other Android skins that disable it. hence my suspicion that it's disabled in stock android.
