Just to throw another possibility out there for you, do you have Data Saver mode enabled? 

 

Go into settings > connections > data usage > data saver.

 

Or search in settings for "data saver".

 

This is from a Samsung S7 Edge handset, recent firmware, so may not be the same steps with different models or software versions.

Fantastic, glad we've managed to clear it up for you @Anonymous Was just a lucky guess if I'm honest, haha.

 

Little bit about it here - http://www.samsung.com/au/support/skp/faq/1124726

 

Things like social media apps tend to eat astonishing amounts of data in the background, so I suspect it keeps them on a tighter leash along with limiting other unnecessary data. Probably only worthwhile if you have a low data allowance, or when roaming outside of the Eurozone to limit costs.
