@Ian Hewitt Hello, go to Settings / Connections / Wifi, three points up right / Advanced and deactivate the option Switch to mobile data, then go to Settings / Connections / Data usage and deactivate the option Mobile data only apps.
Check if the apps in question work with Wifi data. Greetings.

I have the exact same problem with Samsung S20 5G on Android 11... tried resetting all network settings but still doesn’t work properly. Same apps work fine on ipad and wife's iPhone so not a WiFi issue...

Same, I've been looking at iPhones this morning! Seems to be a popular problem when I've been searching the Web this morning so hopefully a fix will be out soon as I'd prefer to stick with Samsung

@Ian Hewitt Hello, then try the following. In Applications, three points up right / Reset preferences. This will have to reset the preferences of the apps. You do not lose personal data. A greeting.
