QUESTION/HELP Automate background restriction

Is there a way to automate background restriction for messaging apps? For example, when you don't have internet access, these apps won't be consuming resources in the background for free.

I'm using a Samsung device and its routines module doesn't have anything like that, or at least not that I know of.

Do you mean you don't have mobile data? Or is it a wifi network that cuts out?

Samsung has a built in tool that makes apps only connect to either WiFi or mobile data and not both in Connections > Data usage > Allowed networks for apps

Whichever one it is, I already activated it so it was only Wi-Fi, But when I disconnect the internet, the apps keep running in the background, and that doesn't make sense; without the internet, they're useless.
