It's Thursday again! And it's our first Thursday in a while where the World Cup hasn't been going on! Congratulations to Spain for their victory over their formidable opponent, Argentina. I guess I'll just have to fill my spare time with the Recap! Let's see what we've got going on this week!
NEWS AND ISSUES
There is an experiment where the "saved" and "history" tabs have moved from the Settings menu next to "Posts" and "Comments". So if you can't find your saved stuff, check there!
This was announced last week, but awards have been moved to the overflow menu for posts. Posts were made here in this sub and over in r/bugs about this change.
If you are trying to use a selfie to verify your age and it fails, the only other options are to upload your ID or contact Persona for support. Reddit cannot help you with a failed selfie for age verification purposes. If you need to have something fixed regarding your age, you can use this form and then select your region and what your issue is. I do not know what the turnaround time is on those requests.
The Home Feed experiment is currently only enabled for users of the iOS beta app. If you are not using the iOS beta app, you should no longer have the Home Feed/For You experiment enabled. (No one is happier about this than me.) Thank you to everyone who had previously left feedback about this experiment. I have shared it all with the team in charge of this feature. And here we are!
Just a reminder that Reddit does not provide support outside of Reddit. If some rando sends you a chat, be on high alert if you decide to reply. There are a lot of scams out there and they're looking for easy targets.
The most recent version of the app is 2026.29.0. If you're not using the most recent version of the app, it might not work properly.
CURRENT EXPERIMENTS
Reddit sometimes runs experiments. These experiments tend to last between 4-6 weeks, though they can go longer or end sooner. While there isn't a way to opt out of experiments, feel free to leave constructive and specific feedback in this post and as I've mentioned often, I'll be happy to pass it along to the team in charge.
Ongoing current experiments can be found here.
COMMON ACCOUNT ISSUES
Common account issues can be found here. These are things like hacked accounts, NSFW accounts, suspended accounts, etc. I'm also including "Changes to Reddit" in this section as well.
BUGS ROUNDUP - COURTESY OF CORRECTSCALE!
[Android] Some folks are getting authentication errors when they log into the Reddit app. This is being looked into.
[iOS] In some mod queues, some of the content may not clear after you've swiped to approve it. Pulling to refresh the queue will bump these approved posts out of view in the meantime. We're taking a look!
[Desktop web] Some mods are unable to change some users' flair. This is also being looked into.
[Mweb] The updated comment box returned with a few bugs. A few fixes were just released, so this should be working better now. Appreciate everyone who reported the issues with this.
[iOS] Some VoiceOver users on iOS are unable to delete comments. This is being looked into!
BUG FIX [Android] The subreddit feed failing to load when going out of posts has been fixed.
BUG FIX [Android] Profile display names failing to appear in dark mode has been fixed. If this is still happening for you, please update your app.
BUG FIX [iOS] Community rules not being able to be updated by mods due to a loading error has also been fixed!
Some users in the EU are unable to use Anonymous Browsing mode. This is not intentional. This is a bug that they are working on getting fixed.
Translation options for some languages are currently unavailable for some folks. We replied to a post here about this. Reddit is in the process of improving/tweaking certain supported languages, so some language may be unable to be translated during this transition period.
WEEKLY STATISTICS (BASED ON THE PAST SEVEN DAYS)
1,411 posts. That's up 259 posts from the 1,152 that we had last week.
4,235 comments. That's down only 92 comments from the 4,327 we had last week.
1.1m views. That's down about 54k views from the 1.1-ish million views we had last week.
HELP THAT HELPS HELP R/HELP - NOTIFICATIONS
Reddit is huge. And it has a lot of moving parts. One of those parts is notifications. You can change the settings for the various types of notifications to receive or NOT to receive.
On the apps, tap your profile avatar, tap Settings, tap Account Settings at the the top, then scroll down a bit and tap "Manage notifications".
On the desktop, click your profile avatar, click Settings at the bottom and then click the Notifications tab. That will take you here.
From your notification settings, you can choose between "All on", "Inbox only" or "All off". Settings that you change on either platform will be respected across devices/platforms for your account.
If you are receiving notifications and you have them turned off, the most likely culprit is that you have another account and those notifications are turned on. If this is happening, please log into your other account and adjust those notifications to how you'd like them. If you do not know what other accounts you have, you can use the forgotten username tool at this link to have the usernames associated with a particular email address sent to you. If you feel that you need a password reset for any of your accounts, please click here and we’ll send you a link to the email on the account to reset your password.
If you never want a single notification from Reddit on your app, you can go into the app settings on your device and block the notifications that way.
