Why do I have to switch between 4G and Wifi to send social media posts and instant messages?

I noticed that when using Facebook and Facebook messenger, I must switch between 4g and wifi to post using my phone and the same applies to Facebook Messenger. Twitter doesn't seem to work properly either. I can send calls and texts and emails just fine, but social media seems to be fickle about whether to use 4g or wifi for things. I have to constantly switch to get anything done. It doesn't matter which wifi I am on either.

Welcome to Android Central! So does the phone have to be on mobile data only in order for FB and Twitter to post properly? Or wi-fi? Or are you saying you have to toggle it, no matter what it's currently set to, in order for the apps to post?

I have to toggle it for different features because sometimes I cannot see group posts on wifi and other times I cannot see it on 4g forcing me to toggle it to see it again. Same with messages and regular posts.
