GrapheneOS asks for internet permission when you install any app.

Can you deny it and is the situation the same as on Android?

You can on graphene. It's not uncommon to use Google keyboard this way for example.

Even an app that does not want internet?

I don't see that as an option, but I'm not a GrapheneOS power user.

No, it only asks if the app requests the internet permission.
