I'm trying to block mobile apps like facebook, youtube, and snapchat. 
I was partially able to block the websites of these apps on PCs after flushing the dns and clear the broswers cache. 

On the mobile phones I'm not able to block the Applications. 

The below is the content of the URL Filter rule:

Nobody in their right mind is going to click a short URL randomly posted on a forum.  Please paste images instead.

 

Also, I think you maybe misunderstand the TPlink solutions capabilities, unless this traffic type blocking was implemented in recenty DPI code (I haven't played with that yet) then it's typically a Meraki or Ubiquiti type feature.

Are the mobile phones using IPv4 or IPv6?  You may need to set rules for IPv6 too, or just block the use of IPv6 altogether.

Ok then just to make sure you aren't chasing ghosts, put the mobile device in Airplane mode and then only re-enable Wifi.  Is it still able to bypass your URL filters?

 

Also, are your filters on the gateway or the ap?
