WeChat WiFi problem

[222997860]

My Samsung Galaxy s9+ is connected to my WiFi network but when I log into WeChat, I get this error message: “You are not using WLAN. Network data usage may be high if you continue.” So I think WeChat is using my mobile data instead of my WiFi. How can I fix this? Thanks.

I’m not familiar with Samsung, are you able to change the settings to have WeChat only comment with WiFi?

There is some sort of “metered connection” test that detects if you are using a capped network like cellular data, perhaps this is detecting your wifi as a metered network by mistake. You could try turning off cellular data as a test to see if you still get that message
