Re: Unable to open apps on phone

When you say "can not open", what happens when you try? Do you see an error? Or does the app just immediately quit?
Google released a broken system component a couple of days ago that kills many apps out there (causes them to immediately crash on start).
Go into Play Store and check for updates - install anything shown (and definitely the Webview and/or Chrome updates) and this should fix it.

Re: Unable to open apps on phone

Hi Thankyou for your suggestions. The app eg BBC news just goes to open first page then does nothing. I went on play store updates which it says it's on auto update .I updated anyway but still hasn't fixed the issue. I find it strange the apps work when using mobile data. Very confused.Thanks again

What about opening a web browser on his device when you're connected to wifi? Are you able to view the BBC web site in it?

Re: Unable to open apps on phone

What happens? What error do you see? If you open the internet browser (e.g. Chrome) and try to go to www.bbc.co.uk what happens?
