I have an M31 with Android version 12. I have question regarding how to prevent an app from using data.

For an app, I have disabled 'Allow Background Data'. And 'Allow data usage while Data saver is on' is turned off and disabled. And yet, the app continues to use small amount of data. I don't know how to turn it off.

1) Can someone help me with turning it off completely?

2) While background data is off, what about foreground data? How to turn it off. There is no such option.

Thanks in advance for help

Think what you did was lower the data usage but not complete depends on the app some I would think can stop data but some will continue to use minimal data i.e checks for updates or needs data to function
