connected to wifi but the wifi symbol isnt on my screen and some apps aren't working???

So basically this issue started way back in august 2021. One day I got home and connected to the wifi but the symbol wouldn't show up and some of my apps weren't functioning right because they said I wasn't connected to wifi. But it's weird because apps like tiktok and instagram are working like I'm on wifi but messages and snapchat aren't working like I'm not on wifi. Mind you when I go to settings it says I'm connected. I'm confused on how to fix this

iPhone 11, iOS 15
