AppLock can be purely used to restrict access to Automate. We can simplify the entire solution and purely depend on Automate’s workflow to keep the WiFi disabled, as it covers all scenarios in which the WiFi can move to the enabled state. Now once this is done, we use AppLock again to restrict access to Automate, so that the user cannot modify the settings created in Automate. In contrast, with AppLock we will have to lock every single app which could possibly control the WiFi state. So, it wouldn’t matter if you tried to enable WiFi using quick tiles or network settings or another completely independent app. The advantage of using Automate to control WiFi access is that it only depends on the current state of the WiFi, and not the app which requested the state change. This effectively keeps the WiFi turned off at all times! In simple terms, we will create a workflow with an action - disable WiFi for the event - enable WiFi. It allows you to automate actions on the phone which can be trigerred by various events. Automate is like Tasker, but with a more intuitive interface.
The second app that we will use, to complement AppLock is Automate. This is probably because it is not part of the Android Settings app. However, during my testing, I discovered the quick toggle tiles are not blocked by this method (the ones which can be pulled down from the top of the screen). We can successfully block access to the Settings screen of the Android OS using just this app. The user will have to provide a password in order to gain access. This is an app which restricts access to any other installed app on the phone. We make use of applications that are available for free on the Play Store to achieve this - AppLock and Automate. Access to the WiFi settings on the phone can be controlled via password or secret patterns. This is a solution to disable access to WiFi on an Android device without requiring root privileges.
