updated pihole to latest version and noticing same issue. :(

I have the same problem. Clearing cache and files didn't help. As well as reinstalling the app. Trivial but (don't underestimate the power of the reboot :)) rebooting the pihole and the phone didn't lead to success. Pihole itself works fine and is active. But the status still shows that pihole is paused.

Pihole and the app are up to date, have Android 11. Hope there will be a solution soon. Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear that. Anecdotally, my own Pi-hole is currently only reporting it is "disabled", even if the Web interface is showing it's enabled.

Could you take a look at the API response of the status endpoint, while it is enabled and disabled, at:
http://pi.hole/admin/api.php?status
(replace pi.hole with your own local IP if needed)

The status should show as "enabled" or "disabled". Does this URL show you the correct status, in line with the web interface?

@sterrenburg in my case even though the actual status was enabled, the endpoint showed 'disabled'.

Hello and thanks for quick reply. In fact, the status shows disabled. Do you have a hint where I can correct it in pihole.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

My guess would be this is a bug we'd have to report in the Pi-hole project itself.
