Hello@NiyoNiyo ,

Welcome to our community.

 

Do you have parental controls set up? Note that parental controls primarily block specific websites, but not specific apps.
Access control blocks the entire device.

In the first two cases that's most probably because you're using the corresponding dedicated app on your mobile instead of a web browser.

Sometimes dedicated apps are using a pre-defined IP addresses to connect to the particular service instead of a DNS name.
