When I try to watch a video or update the channels on wifi I have to wait several minutes for things to load, but when I turn off the wifi and turn on the 4G I can use it with no problems (updating the channels and watching videos are very fast).

What can I do to fix this?

That is really strange, your ISP isnt throttleing video right? I know mobile carriers will often throttle video to like 3mbps to allow no higher than 480p. If that is not the case i would try reinstalling NewPipe because that should not be happening.

I wonder if running through a VPN could test this hypothesis

Yeah, if you run it through a VPN do aspeedtest to make sure they arent slowing vpn speeds and then try newpipe
