Hi guys, I think I have managed to find the solution. At least it works for me.

The thing I did was to go into the phone's recovery mode to Wipe its partition cache. This does not delete your personal files or settings, so do not worry about it. I would caution that you do make sure you select this option correctly, as the other others options in the recovery mode that would reset your entire phone.

I used to have issues with a couple of apps but after doing this clearing of the partition cache, I am able to access the apps with my wifi connection. 🥳

Hope this helps! Trust me, I was frustrated but now that it is working again, I am so relieved!

You can Google to see how you can access your recovery mode. For mine, I am using a S22 Ultra, so I had to connect my phone to the computer before I can follow the steps in the video.

Same issue here I have the s21 ultra. It's just gotten wide and worse. I have crazy fast wifi speeds at home but I can't have my phone on wifi at home anymore. Certain apps just won't recognize a connection at all but once I switch to mobile date everything works fine. For instance I have a nest thermostat it literally won't connect until I switch to mobile data only and turn off my wifi. Very annoying Samsung needs to fix this asap. I have crazy fast wifi I pay for at home and I literally can't use it on my phone.
