Just add proxy to something that leads to nowhere to block WhatsApp from connecting anywhere.

Adding proxy is a native feature in WhatsApp.

  1. Go to Settings > Storage and Data > Proxy.
  2. Add 127.0.0.1 in the IP address and add a random port too.
  3. When you want to disconnect WhatsApp from the internet, just turn on the proxy. To reconnect, turn it off.

Doesn’t let me click the big green button to submit. Nothing happens. No matter what ip and port (port being optional it says)
