Mobile data app discrimination

A person sifting grain

Sometimes, the default settings on mobile devices cause certain apps to have trouble connecting to the Internet. In this article, I cover the steps that fixed this issue on my Android device while using mobile data.

Go to Settings

Search for and open "Access Point Names" (APNs) in your device's settings.

Edit an Access Point

There is usually a list of access points you can choose from. Edit the active access point.

Set Proxy

Make sure "Proxy" is not set.

Set APN protocol

Make sure "APN protocol" and "APN roaming protocol" are both set to "IPv4/IPv6".

That's all folks!

I hope the above instructions solve your connection issue too. Special thanks to the-code-raider for requesting this article.
