Hi,
I am running a react/next app locally on port 3000.
I have a backend also running locally in 8080.
I Can access my react app and backend from phone
ipv4:3000 & ipv4:8080
Both works fine. But when my front end is fetching data from backend, then I can not fetch data when looking from my phone, it works on my laptop!

Hey, have you checked the used url for fetching your data from the frontend? It may be something like http://localhost:8080/api/… and localhost is pointing to your phone and not the computer the server is running on? Try to point to the local ip (ex: http://192.168.1.123:8080/api…) when fetching your data from your client. It’s just a guess, it is maybe more complicated than that 🙂
