I'm new to Android systems - so looking for any insights into this issue and what I can do to fix it, since I am not very familiar with the OS.
I have a personal phone (Samsung S6 Edge) and work phone (Samsung Galaxy S7 active) and both of them have the same issue - Facebook and Instagram apps will not load photos in the feed if the phone is connected to WiFi.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the apps several times, cleared cache and data for the apps several times, and restarted the phones too many times to count. It also appears to happen no matter what WiFi I am connected to - I've tried it at my home, workplace, and at my boyfriend's - three different WiFi connections, all good connectivity - but same issue.
As soon as I turn the WiFi connection off, both apps work fine and will load photos in seconds over the mobile network. This is of course, the easiest fix, but is irritating since it forces me to use mobile data.
Both phones are on Android 7, Nougat. Both apps are up to date with the latest versions.
