Why do most apps/softwares seem to have trouble reconnecting to the internet when the signal was lost (despite actively trying), but do it right away when turned off and on?
The internet is not instant. On a slow connection a request may take seconds. So there is a timeout in place after which a request is deemed unsuccessful.
Also some apps don’t automatically try to reconnect because they don’t want to overload the server in case the connection problem was already caused by a server overload.
