Since switching to Sky Broadband, I have to turn my WiFi off on my phone when at home to make or receive WhatsApp calls, or download any media. I then have to switch back to WiFi to use other apps. WhatsApps wil work on 5G seamlesslessy but on Sky Broadband.
It's very inconvenient in that I can't use WhatsApp on the WiFi at home but it works seamlessly on the WiFi at work or other places. I can't simultaneously use WhatsApps and other apps, because I have to turn off WiFi on my phone to use WhatsApp and this makes downloading from the Internet very slow or non existent.

Typically you'd need to change the age setting in Sky Broadband Shield: the default level blocks some social media applications.
