I don't have a clue if anyone has mentioned it, but I use the non-root version of NetGuard to make sure some apps on my phone don't have wifi or mobile data access.

I also don't know if this was mentioned by someone else, but for one of my college courses, we are using thonny for python programming.

How is that different from disabling the access from android settings?

Because with NetGuard I can use it on not just the apps that normal settings app list shows me, but also system apps that don't show up that you can't disable access to without a 3rd party tool. Since I'm not on a rooted device, I don't have a choice over things like being able in settings mode to try and disable apps like gøøg|e assistant because it doesn't show up in the apps list.
