# Network Usage Rules

The following Custom Payload helps IT Admins to configure applications that would be restricted from accessing cellular data and will not work unless WiFi is there on the devices. This comes in handy in case you would like to restrict users from consuming cellular data by accessing non-work-related applications like YouTube, social media sites, etc.

1. Copy the contents directly from below and add it to Custom Settings in the Device Profile or click [here](https://cdn.document360.io/175c0eac-012f-4410-bdc5-ac60794f82d8/Images/Documentation/network-usage-rules-iOS.txt)  to download the file and import it in the Device Profile.MarkupMarkup
