Apps Only Downloading On Data

Lately, whenever I’m connected to WiFi, apps simply won’t download at all, or they get stuck just after starting. The app will appear in my recently added folder, but greyed out. Strangely, if I disconnect from the WiFi and just use 4G, the app downloads with no problems at all.

My WiFi is slow, but it does work (I can download over WiFi on Mac and other devices), so it doesn’t seem like a WiFi issue… any suggestions?
