iPad Pro (11-inch) (2nd generation) on 14.2 (18B92) gives a "cannot connect" error on many apps, but not all.

It will connect to:

  • Local WiFi.
  • Stack Exchange.
  • Mail.
  • Safari.
  • App Store.

It will not connect to:

  • Facebook
  • Covet
  • Ookla Speedtest
  • Merge Mansion

or even Apple Support (see error below).

Any suggestions why some apps see the Internet and some don’t?

  • Reset Xfinity Gateway.
  • Power down and restart iPad.

  • Have you verified the IP address and other network settings under Settings -> Wi-Fi -> (little i icon next to your network)? Based on the screenshot you shared, the iPad does not appear to be connected to a wifi network at all.

  • Do you have any ad or website blockers installed in the iPad? It looks like the sites are being blocked by an ad blocker.
