Apps not working on mobile data but fine with WiFi

Hoping someone tech savvy will know the answer to this! 🙏🏼

I have spent hours trying to fix whatever it is that is causing the "Network Error" or "Technical Error" type messages that I am getting on some of my frequently used apps - namely Strava, Facebook, Stack Team App.

Okay, so I can live without them for a bit when I am out and about, but why pay for data if it doesn't work on some apps? They work perfectly fine when I have WiFi, and I have checked my data allowance which is full, given that it has renewed just today.

I have tried the following and still get nothing:

  • Turning phone on and off and restarting.
  • Going through mobile data usage and
checking that they are allowing data usage for background when power saver is on.

-Clearing the cache of apps affected

-Removing the sim and then putting it back in the phone.

-Uninstalling and reinstalling the apps.

  • Resetting the network preferences.
  • Switching airplane mode on and off

They are all from the list of the link below when I Google searched.

I'm out of ideas. My phone has also got significantly slower and less responsive. It's a Samsung A32 that I bought back in 2021.

Other than trying another network and replacing the phone, what else have I missed?

Thanks in advance.

I realise this is niche.
