Hi guys

I'm a BlackBerry user of ten years and have recently moved over to Android (with some regret).

I know Android is great for customising, so my quest now is to find out how to control individual apps from running too much data - I know of the "Restrict Background Data" option, but is there a way to be more granular and control which apps use data on Wi-Fi and on Mobile Data?

And on that, to reduce battery consumption, is there a way to control the interval frequency with which apps synchronise? For example, Sunrise, Gmail, Inbox, Google Keep - if they're all polling and synchronising regularly, I'm sure that uses up my data and my battery a lot faster. Is there a way to tell them "only poll manually" etc.?
