Why You Need Network Permission Control
Most smartphone apps connect to the internet in the background, even when they don’t need to. These silent connections can send data to third-party servers, track user activity, or expose security vulnerabilities. If you’re using a secure phone, you should have full control over which apps can access the network.
This is where Network Permission Control comes in. Built into GrapheneOS, this feature allows you to toggle internet access per app, ensuring that only the apps you trust can go online. Apps without internet access behave as if they are completely offline, eliminating hidden data transmissions.
How Does Network Permission Control Work?
🔐 Per-App Internet Toggle – Enable or disable network access for individual apps.
🚫 Blocks Background Data Collection – Prevents apps from secretly transmitting data even if they don’t have explicit tracking permissions.
🛑 Prevents Unwanted Connections – Apps denied network access cannot connect to Wi-Fi or mobile data, reducing exposure to hacking, malware, and data leaks.
📵 Apps Function Without Internet – Unlike traditional firewall apps that may break functionality, GrapheneOS ensures blocked apps behave as if offline without affecting usability.
This feature turns your encrypted mobile phone into a truly untraceable phone by eliminating unwanted internet activity.
Why Is This Important for Privacy & Security?
Many apps request excessive permissions and establish hidden internet connections. Standard Android phones lack built-in network controls, leaving users vulnerable to:
✔ Silent Data Harvesting – Apps collecting personal data without user consent.
✔ Spyware & Malware Risks – Apps sending sensitive data to unknown servers.
✔ Network-Based Tracking – Apps using internet access to track behavior, even with location disabled.
✔ Potential Exploits – Hackers using internet-enabled vulnerabilities to compromise apps.
By using Network Permission Control, you ensure that only trusted apps can access the internet—eliminating privacy risks at the source.
