For applications that are consuming data in both foreground and background, you can restrict data usage in background mode while using that app via Internet data pack. But background usage will be automatically enabled while you are connected to internet via Wi-Fi. Although you can also restrict data usage in background mode in Wi-Fi via some third party applications like Root Firewall but that will require prior rooting of your android device.

Restricting background data will also restrict application to receive new notification. So it will be a good practise to switch off your internet data pack rather than restricting background data when not in use.

Now let us discuss the steps to be implemented in order to switch off your internet data pack on android device:
