    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.
