I know on Android you can disable background data so that apps only use it when they are open in the foreground. On my phone I can even specify which apps to do that for.
And on rooted phones you can even use iptables to allow connection for individual apps based on profiles (data/wifi/roaming/vpn). I was using that before and it worked really well. -- Victor Mendonça http://wazem.org/ <http://wazem.org/> On Sat, Nov 5, 2016 at 3:00 PM, bunk3m <bun...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Victor, > > I'm traveling quite a bit and don't want to pay for data roaming for > apps that I don't necessarily need running.
