Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure describes methods and a wireless mobile device for selectively granting or denying mobile applications (“apps”) access to a cellular network. In various implementations, a wireless mobile device having both WiFi capability and cellular data capability receives a data packet from an app executing on the wireless mobile device. If the app is not whitelisted and the wireless mobile device is not connected to a WiFi network, the wireless mobile device drops the data packet. If, on the other hand, the app is whitelisted, the wireless mobile device transmits the data packet over the cellular network.
