An official community for announcements from Reddit, Inc. and discussion about official Reddit apps for mobile devices.

Community Guidelines

1. No low-effort or off-topic posts

This community is focused on announcements, feedback, bug reports, and discussion in regards to the official Reddit App. Low-effort and Off-topic posts will be removed.

Please try to include a screenshot or screen recording in your post whenever possible.

Here is a helpful reference on how to properly report a bug and provide feedback before you post.

2. Check the wiki before posting

Please search the FAQs page before posting a general question. You can also check out reddithelp.com to see if your question is answered there.

If you’re reporting a bug, or providing feedback, please take a look at our Bug Reporting and Feedback Guide before posting. Be sure to flair your post accordingly!

3. Remember the Human

Perhaps the most important rule. Treat others as you'd like to be treated. Constructive criticism is appreciated, please keep it respectful!

4. Posts must be tagged with platform and version

All posts must have either an [iOS] or [android] tag in the post title according to what platform the poster is talking about, as well as app version e.g. [2022.XX.X]. We also ask that the user sets their flair as well.

Post title requirements can be found here.. You can select your post flair from the “Add flair” button when submitting a post.

5. No NSFW or Personal Content

The publishing of the personal information of yourself/someone else is strictly prohibited, and could even get you banned from Reddit itself. Additionally, NSFW posts have no place on /r/redditmobile and posting one may result in a ban. It's okay to post a screenshot of NSFW subreddits if it clearly is about the app, those posts must be tagged as NSFW.

6. No common posts or recent reposts

Posts that are commonly/were recently posted to the subreddit will be removed at the discretion of the moderation team. Please search before posting and if you find a similar recent post, comment and upvote there for better visibility. Please also reference the most recent changelog stickied to subreddit to see if the issue you are experiencing has already been acknowledged or even been recently patched in a newly shipped update.

Updates to bug reporting on Reddit

Hey all,

As some of you may have seen, at the end of 2023, we made some updates to our support ecosystem: implementing a new beta program for our mobile apps, launching a new subreddit dedicated to tracking Reddit bugs and archiving the r/Beta community - all long overdue.

We’re constantly looking for additional ways to improve awareness and communication around bugs/bug fixes and widespread issues to improve your experience on the platform. For this reason, today we’re making the move to archive r/RedditMobile and transition to using r/Bugs as the central bug reporting subreddit for all redditors across platforms.

This change will centralize reporting for redditors and create better visibility on these issues among our Product, Community, and Engineering teams by simplifying our reporting pathways. We’ve chosen to use r/Bugs as the central subreddit for reporting potential bugs (shocking, we know), and r/RedditBugs for tracking the statuses of many of those reported issues.

To all the helpful users that have frequented r/RedditMobile over the years and provided some top notch bug reports - we hope you’ll continue to be active over in r/Bugs!

[iOS][2024.06.0.614455] Saved Image Attribution constantly re-enables itself

I have disabled this feature several times because it re-enables itself. Why does this happen and why does this feature even exist? Why would anyone want to attribute a post to the app, let alone retain a copy of the image they downloaded that’s a lower size and resolution than the original they wanted, degrading the quality?????

[iOS] [2024.06.0] Is there a way to allow message notification for specific people?

I get notifications for messages being sent to me on here often, but I only have interest in receiving them from certain people. And by notifications, I mean the push notifications on my phone.

Is there a way to essentially whitelist certain people so it only sends those notifications when it's those people messaging you?

[iOS] [2024.07.0.614471] Animated sub icons aren't animated

On desktop animated sub icons work fine in all areas (feed, sidebar, etc...) it also works fine via mobile browser, but it no longer works on the iOS mobile app and i don' t think it works on Android. I was pretty sure that this worked before on the official apps, can this be fixed so it works on the apps or was this removed on purpose?

[Android][2024.07.0.1429651] NSFW images are blurred even though the relevant setting is turned off in settings.

NSFW images are any subreddit are being blurred on my tablet which is using reddit mobile even though I have the blur NSFW images turned off. It is just ignoring the setting and blurring the image anyway. As far as I can tell it started today as it did not do this last night.

Description: NSFW images being blurred even though said feature is turned off in settings

Device model: Fire HD 10 9th Gen

OS version: Fire OS 7.3.2.9

Steps to reproduce: Visit any subreddit with NSFW images

Expected Result: Image thumbnails should be unblurred as the appropriate setting is off in app settings. So thumbnails should not be blurred.

Actual Result: Images are being being blurred and the app is ignoring relevant settings.

Screenshot(s) or a screen recording: I can't show a screenshot without breaking TOS

[android][2024.06.0.1418489] Reddit pauses all other music in background when playing a video with sound.

Why? This not only pauses my music unnecessarily, but also doesn't restart my music when I leave the video. It worked fine before, just play both the video audio and my music. If I can't hear something I'll pause my music myself. Reddit doesn't have to do this for me.

Make this an option or revert it the way it was.

[ios] [2024.07.0] When swiping away from a post to go back to the main feed, it sometimes forces me through 2 or 3 threads I never tapped on. Why?

I only want to see the threads for the posts I tap on, not random ones when I’m swiping to go back to my feed.

[Android] [2024.06.0] get rid of the Google Play Services warning

When running Reddit on a device without Google Play Services, it'll give you a notification telling you Google Play Services is required and that it's missing from your device. This is annoying, it isn't required, there's alternatives like microG, and sometimes it'll give you a warning out of nowhere, even with Reddit completely closed. Its a very annoying feature and does nothing good.

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S6 running crDroid 9 (Android 13 based)

For the past couple of weeks the Android mobile app now opens the browser to access modmail, and requires a login each time. Any way to fix this. I used to be able to access modmail directly through the app.

[Android] [2023.50.1] scrolling through videos in a subreddit and random unrelated videos from unrelated subs keep popping up. Not crossroads. Also post that are weeks old

*crossposts. Is there anyway to stop this happening? And from subreddits I'm not even subbed to. I don't want to see people getting shot and I don't want to turn off nsfw posts.

[Android][2024.06.0.1418489]

Hey, the reddit app isn't letting me view any accounts. I'll click on one to view and it'll load for a second then switch to what's in the screenshot. I've checked on browser and it works fine, and I've uninstalled the app and the issue persists. Anyone have any clues?

[Android] [2024.06.0.1418489] Can't access settings or chats in Android app. Works fine on desktop

Getting "having problems..." messages when trying to access my Account Settings or open Chats. The 'Block user' option is also missing from the context menu when clicking on a user.

Works fine on desktop. Seems to be ok with a different account on the app too.

[ios] [2024.05.0.614437] Saving GIFs in comments

Some people said they could do it but I don’t see a download option when viewing a commented image/GIF. I assume it’s supposed to have one especially since Reddit keeps giving me the “sending this to a friend?” thing when I screenshot it but I’m not sure.
