Ever since I installed the Smart Family Companion App on my child's phone they have been unable to backup photos to Google Photos. The Google Photos app always says "Waiting for Wi-Fi" even though their phone is connected to Wi-Fi.

Thanks!

Google photos is supposed to back up to the Google cloud. In her Google Photos app it says "Waiting for Wi-Fi" even though she is connected to Wi-Fi. It doesn't matter which network she is connected to, it keeps saying "Waiting for Wi-Fi." This wasn't a problem before installing the Smart Family Companion App.
