Family hub not connecting to iphone

Hello. I cannot connect my Family Hub to my iphone. I even bought a dongle and connected it to the fridge?? The fridge is connected to wifi. I am unable to play slideshow with photos or upload new photos due to not connecting to phone. My fridge has older photos downloaded from pre-smart things app. I cannot even get those to slideshow function. Do I even need this dongle? Help?
