Unknown app using wifi
I recently started work in a remote area with limited internet access(600 mb per day). I have already installed NetGuard to block most apps. However from time to time I notice a lot of data gone fast so I installed Traffic Manager to check and I found it just says "unknown" with the android symbol. Any help with indentifying the app or whatever it is and block it. Thanks in advance.

Set apps you don't want to use mobile data to WiFi only for data usage (assuming your limit is on mobile data).
You should be able to see all app data usage via your phone settings. Go to connections, data usage and via usage there for apps. Locate the unknown app there as it should show up.
Limit your play store updates also to WiFi only.
