What does Local-network app permission mean?

A local-network app permission controls whether an application can access relevant devices or services on the local network under the operating system’s rules. It can matter for discovery features such as casting, but it is not the same as general internet connectivity.

Why it matters

A phone may reach a streaming website while being unable to discover a television. The receiver must support the intended technology, and network isolation can also prevent communication. Review the app’s documented needs and grant only relevant permissions. Do not assume every player requires broad local access just to stream from a remote account.
