    Apps cannot monitor network connections unless they're made into the active VPN + service by the user. Apps cannot normally access network stats and cannot directly + request access to them. However, app-based stats can be explicitly granted by users as + part of access to app usage stats in Settings ➔ Apps & notifications ➔ Special app + access ➔ Usage access.
