Reddit Release Notes

Starting today, Reddit users will have one more way to engage with each other: video in comments. This feature is available to all Reddit users and offers a new expressive and authentic way to contribute to conversations.

Video in comments gives users the option to bring voice, expression, and presence into conversations, making replies feel more immersive and allowing them to demonstrate their points visually rather than relying on descriptions in certain scenarios. This commenting feature expands upon the existing engagement options, which already include images, GIFs, and text.

“We are continually evolving Reddit to deliver a more immersive and authentic human experience," said Chief Product Officer Maria Angelidou-Smith. "The ability to reply with video gives users more creative ways to engage in communities they love."

Reddit users can explore a variety of ways to participate in daily conversations with this new contribution format, including:

• Sharing a quick cooking video of a recipe hack.
• Showing off a newly perfected makeup technique.
• Demonstrating your fancy soccer footwork in response to a sports thread.
• Watching video responses from your favorite celebrities during an AMA.

As part of Reddit’s alpha test of video in comments, users have been testing video replies in eligible communities such as Mel C hosting a video AMA in r/popculturechat or users sharing handwriting samples in r/fountainpens.

How it works for users:

• In eligible communities where the feature is on, users will now see a video icon alongside images and GIFs in the comment box on all platforms. Users can record or upload a video reply in these communities or to their profile.
• Videos do not autoplay and respect users’ audio settings.

Video comments will be checked through Reddit’s safety systems before being displayed. Eligible communities are suitable-for-work (SFW), public communities.

Redditor Updates

Reddit Gaming experience rollout

What’s changing?

We previously mentioned the introduction of a new games icon () in Reddit’s bottom navigation bar, which when tapped will take redditors to our games hub and games feed. On the topic of our games hub, we’re working on a new sleeker look and design for it, where it’ll be easier for redditors to find the best and most popular games to play on Reddit. Take a sneak peek in the image below:

When is this change happening?

The new games icon in the bottom navigation bar will start to ramp up to 5% of iOS and Android redditors globally. The games hub experience should start ramping up to iOS and Android soon as well.

Expanded shopping experience

What’s changing?

We’re expanding the test for a new shopping experience to help people who come to Reddit to get real opinions and perspectives on products before buying them. The expansion includes two new experiences: 1) a way for people to discover and go deep on products Reddit is already discussing, and 2) a new way to explore brands’ products directly on Reddit. This test is rolling out gradually to U.S.-based redditors starting with electronics, video games, and health & beauty products.

When redditors in the test come across a popular product in a Reddit conversation, they'll see the product name highlighted. Tapping it opens a new deep dive experience: an AI-powered summary of Reddit conversations, plus direct quotes about that product. For products that are part of a catalog that the business has provided, the deep dive also includes a product image, pricing, and links to buy directly on the brand’s or retailer’s site, bringing everything Reddit users need to research a product into one place.

Redditors can also access deep dives through AI search. When someone asks a question about a product or category like ‘best noise-canceling headphones’ or ‘best moisturizer for sensitive skin’, they’ll see a related products carousel at the bottom of the search results page. Tapping any product opens its deep dive.

This test also includes a new way for redditors to discover and explore products from businesses on Reddit: by browsing a dedicated products tab on a business’s profile. From there, redditors can tap into each product’s deep dive. This experience is currently live with partners in the test.

When is this change happening?

Expansion will start in early June 2026 on all platforms.

Media experiment

What’s changing?

We’re running an experiment that will present media (images, videos, GIFs, and ads) in a larger way in a redditor’s feed. Where we used to have images cropped in feed, you may now see images stretching edge to edge within a feed.

When is this change happening?

We are currently experimenting with a small group of redditors on iOS and Android devices.

Anonymous Browsing

What’s changing?

We’ve recently launched a change that converts the Anonymous Browsing mode into the new Reddit home design, where the search bar is visible at the top. In addition to this, users in Anonymous Browsing mode will be dropped into a general home feed experience instead of the popular feed.

When is this change happening?

This change launched in May 2026.

Search trends in feed

What’s changing?

We are running an experiment that shows search trends in feed to allow people to see more of what’s trending among the Reddit community.

When is this change happening?

Experiment will be to a small group of redditors outside of the US on the iOS and Android mobile app in June 2026.

Crosspost renamed to repost

What’s changing?

Crosspost has been renamed to repost and we have updated the icon (). The core functionality remains the same: redditors can still share an existing Reddit post into another eligible community. This rename is part of a broader set of updates we're testing to make Reddit simpler and more intuitive to all redditors.

When is this change happening?

This change is live on all platforms.

Moderator Updates

Expanding availability of video in comments

What’s changing?

Video in comments is now available in all eligible, public, safe-for-work (SFW) communities. To give moderators flexibility, we’ve built multiple settings options so mods can decide how video comments work in their communities. Mods have an early access period to update settings in their community before video in comments is enabled for all users starting June 11, 2026.

If you want to keep the feature set to mods only, you'll still need to update and save the setting. To do this, temporarily change it to mods and approved users, save, then change it back to mods only and save again.

To update settings, go to:

Mod Tools > Post & Comments > Media in Comments to change these settings if you’re on desktop and Mod Tools > Media in Comments (under Content & Contribution) if you’re on our native mobile app.

We'll be messaging communities once the setting is available to everyone so they can make any needed changes.

When is this change happening?

This feature is live in all eligible communities.

Post content type settings to reflect your community preferences

What’s changing?

We’re decoupling your community's media and link settings. Historically, images and videos have been tied to links, meaning you couldn't allow one without the other. Starting on June 10, you can toggle images, videos, and links individually to customize your community’s content settings to your preferences and enable a better posting experience for your community members.

When is this change happening?

These setting changes will launch on June 10, 2026.

Post ideas experiment

What’s changing?

We’re testing post ideas, an experience for mods in public safe-for-work (SFW) communities. Post ideas surface relevant discussion prompts and vetted publisher articles at the top of the community feed to kickstart conversations and keep communities active with content tailored to their topic and tone. Mods can select a post prompt (available in new and emerging SFW communities) or publisher article (available in SFW communities if relevant) directly from the unit to quickly create and publish a post in their community.

When is this change happening?

Publisher article recommendations will begin on June 10, 2026 across iOS, Android, and desktop web for a percentage of eligible communities. Post prompts experiment will begin separately on June 17, 2026 for a percentage of eligible communities across the same platforms.

Crowd Control now in safety settings on Android

What’s changing?

Crowd Control, a safety setting to help prevent community interference, lets moderators automatically collapse or filter comments and filter posts from users who aren’t trusted members within their community yet. While you could enable Crowd Control from reddit.com or iOS before, we’ve now included it in the Safety Settings menu in Android, too.

When is this change happening?

This rolled out on Android on May 21, 2026.

Whether people are discovering a product or making a purchase, they come to Reddit to decide what to buy: a platform where users are 62% more likely than the average American to be daily shoppers.1 To more easily connect our high-intent conversations to conversions for advertisers, we’re introducing our native Shopify integration that is now widely available to global advertisers.

Why Reddit for Retail

Reddit has emerged as one of the most powerful yet untapped growth engines in the media mix. According to research from TransUnion, performance outcomes on Reddit in North America deliver more than 2x the incremental ROAS compared to the media plan average, returning $12.52 for every dollar invested in North America.2 This TransUnion research also highlights Reddit as the top-performing Paid Social channel for efficiency in EMEA, driving a 7x average ROAS for retail advertisers. Furthermore, Reddit has a proven "halo effect," with 13% of its performance impact lifting the effectiveness of other marketing channels. Advertisers are taking notice: retail advertisers in EMEA have increased their investments on Reddit by over 8x from 2023-2025, while other paid social in aggregate has seen a 6% decrease.3

Advertiser success

Since testing began last quarter, Shopify merchants have seen results with Reddit Dynamic Product Ads (DPA). Ethnotek, a Shopify merchant known for its artisan-made backpacks, bags and accessories, set out to get their products in front of a wider audience and ultimately grow their online sales with Reddit’s Dynamic Product Ads. Reddit’s Shopify integration enabled Ethnotek to easily connect their Shopify storefront and Reddit pixel to sync their entire product catalog without any additional manual work. With strategies like re-targeting, Ethnotek re-engaged shoppers who had already demonstrated interest in their products on Reddit by dynamically inserting the items that would interest them the most. As a result, the brand saw 4x ROAS and a CPA 40% below their benchmark.

“Reddit has become a valuable performance channel for us” said Benjamin Bier, Head of Online Marketing at Ethnotek. “The combination of high-intent audiences and dynamic retargeting helped us drive efficient growth while keeping the customer journey highly relevant.”

Shopify on Reddit

Now, the Reddit Shopify integration is widely available to global advertisers. Shopify merchants can start running their first Reddit DPA campaign within minutes using:

• Seamless setup via quick authorization, a streamlined authorization flow to instantly link Reddit Ads account to a Shopify storefront.
• Codeless Reddit Pixel for high-quality signals, a simple, codeless Reddit Pixel setup, enabling merchants to pass high-quality data signals cleanly back to their dashboard to track conversions accurately.
• Automated, effortless catalog syncing, once merchants’ Shopify product catalog is connected, product details—including images, live pricing, descriptions, and inventory levels—are updated automatically on Reddit.

“This new integration makes it even easier for businesses of all sizes to unlock performance on Reddit with codeless pixel and catalog syncing.” said Harish Balasubramanian, Director of Product, Ads Growth at Reddit. “For Shopify’s global network of small to medium businesses, Reddit is now an even more accessible part of the marketing mix.”

Better performance with less manual work

Hundreds of millions of people come to Reddit to discover, compare, and decide what to invest their time and money in, making Reddit the #1 platform to inform a brand or product decision¹. Over the last year, app advertisers on Reddit have scaled their campaigns and grown installs, with install volume up 129% in the past year alone². Third-party research points to the same trend, showing Reddit-driven users tend to be higher quality, spend more time in-app, and deliver stronger retention and LTV over time³.

Today, we’re building upon that momentum with a new set of updates for app advertisers that make Reddit a stronger and more transparent performance partner. We’re expanding availability of Max campaigns for App Ads to beta, bringing App Event Optimization to GA, and beginning beta testing for Dual Attribution, our new first-party attribution and measurement solution. For app marketers, this means more visibility into performance, more automation where it matters, and more confidence in how to grow investment on Reddit.

We’re expanding the tools available to app advertisers to better automate the work that drives growth so they can stay focused on the outcomes that matter most to them.

• Max campaigns, now available in beta for app campaigns, are Reddit’s automated campaign type, built to optimize campaign settings for every impression. Across early split tests, Max app campaigns delivered an average 15% reduction in CPA and a 28% increase in results volume⁴. That momentum is already showing up in advertiser results, with DocMorris seeing a 20% lower cost per install and a 73% lower purchase CPA⁵.

“Max campaigns drive stronger performance with less manual work for app advertisers,” said Jyoti Vaidee, Reddit’s VP of Ads Product. “Powered by AI and Community Intelligence™, they improve efficiency through features like automated targeting, smart creative asset rotation, and Top Audience Personas reporting, giving marketers more ways to optimize every impression.”

• App Event Optimization helps advertisers move beyond installs and optimize toward the in-app conversions that matter most to their business, whether that is a sign-up, trial start, or purchase. By using machine learning on app event signals, it allows advertisers to reach users who are more likely to go beyond just installing the app. Now in GA, App Event Optimization has driven an average 22% improvement in CPA, proving it can lower costs while driving more meaningful business outcomes⁶. AllTrails is a strong example, seeing a 28% lower Start Trial CPA and a 39% increase in Start Trial conversions⁷.

Dual attribution provides a clearer view of app performance

As the app ecosystem continues to grow, measurement has become more fragmented. The traditional last-touch attribution model doesn’t fully reflect how people decide what to download today, especially on Reddit, where people often take time to validate a decision before installing. Advertisers need a clearer view of the full journey, not just the last touch.

That is why we’re introducing Reddit first-party attribution reporting to give app advertisers added visibility into the role Reddit plays throughout the user decision journey that standard last-touch attribution models may not fully capture. As part of the beta, we’re testing an industry-first approach that brings first-party and third-party attributed reporting together side by side in Ads Manager, allowing advertisers to view Reddit first-party attribution alongside MMP and SKAN last-touch reporting in one place. We believe bringing these measurement perspectives together will provide advertisers with a clearer, more complete understanding of performance, and we look forward to learning and iterating alongside our partners throughout the beta.

A new chapter for app growth on Reddit

Together, these updates reflect a more holistic approach to growth and measurement on Reddit, built for how people actually discover, evaluate, and decide today. They also point to a more complete, transparent, and effective future for app advertising on Reddit.

Talk to your Reddit rep about enabling Dual Attribution, Max campaigns for App Ads, and best practices for App Event Optimization so you can drive high-quality users to your app and get a more complete, transparent view of Reddit’s performance impact. If you already run app campaigns on Reddit, review your current setup with your team and map a test plan that adds Dual Attribution reporting and moves more budget into RMAX and AEO where you see stronger performance.

Amid information overload and declining trust, more purchase journeys are happening on Reddit than ever before. To help retailers and ecommerce businesses reach these shoppers more easily and effectively, we’re launching several new shopping tools to enhance the Dynamic Product Ads (DPA) experience on Reddit.

Heading into Shoptalk 2026 today, Reddit’s shopping momentum is clear: we’ve seen a 40% year-over-year increase in the number of high-intent shopping conversations on the platform.1 What’s more, Reddit drives buyer confidence–84% of shoppers on Reddit feel more secure in their purchases after researching products on the platform.2 Finally, Fospha’s The State of Retail Commerce 2026 study found that businesses that scaled their investment in Reddit saw cost per purchase improve by 34% and increased ROAS, but there’s still untapped opportunity: this research also identifies Reddit as the most under-valued channel in the media mix.

We’re helping businesses tap into this behavior and drive growth, with Reddit DPA driving an average of +91% higher ROAS year-over-year in Q4 2025. Brands like Canada Goose and Liquid I.V. have driven performance efficiency with DPA:

"Since launching Reddit DPA in April 2025, we’ve seen a transformative shift in our lower-funnel efficiency for Liquid I.V.” said Karilyn Anderson, VP of Media and Retention at Liquid I.V. “Despite being a newer placement for us, DPA has already generated 33% of our total platform revenue. Most impressively, it is outperforming our other conversion campaigns by 40%, all while maintaining engagement levels on par with our top-tier prospecting efforts."

Improve discovery with Collection Ads and Reddit-unique overlays

Businesses bringing their catalog to Reddit can now show up in more compelling, creative ways at the moment customers are making purchase decisions with new Collection Ads.

Collection Ads allow businesses to lead with a lifestyle hero image paired with shoppable product tiles in a single DPA carousel, creating a bridge between discovery and purchase. Early advertisers following our best practices are seeing a 8% lift in ROAS with Collection Ads.

We are also testing Reddit-unique Community and Deal overlays, which bring Reddit-unique content into the ads experience. Community overlays indicate products that are already resonating on Reddit, like "Redditors' Top Pick,” while Deal overlays automatically call out discounts and sale pricing–surfacing the insights shoppers are looking for without extra lift from advertisers.

Get started easily with Shopify

Our new Shopify integration (now in alpha) simplifies catalog and pixel setup, enabling frictionless onboarding for new DPA advertisers. With Shopify on Reddit, businesses can automatically identify which products to show to the right user, in the right context to drive desired outcomes.

For over 20 years, Reddit has been where the world comes to talk; now, it’s where the world comes to buy. We’re excited to continue to build on Reddit’s shopping solutions and help businesses reach high-intent users on the platform.

How the test feature works

People come to Reddit every day to search for opinions, product reviews, and recommendations before making a purchase. We're testing a new AI-powered search feature that turns community recommendations into action using the product catalogs from a selection of our Shopping / Dynamic Product Ads (DPA) partners.

For a small group of U.S.-based users, when relevant, search results will now include interactive product carousels with pricing, images, and direct where-to-buy links.

When a redditor asks a question related to a product or category like best noise-canceling headphones or electronic gift ideas for a college student, they will see a related products carousel at the bottom of the results.

The carousel highlights products directly mentioned by users from real conversations on related posts and comments, and it includes details such as pricing and images.

Tapping on the product card allows redditors to see more details about the product, where they can then link out to select retailers, learn more, or make a purchase. For the initial test, queries for consumer electronics will also show product carousels sourced from select Dynamic Product Ads (DPA) partner catalogs.

This early test will appear to a small group of U.S.-based redditors who submit shopping-related queries related to electronics.

Built on community insights

This feature surfaces top-recommended products directly from discussions, giving redditors instant information about any product. This test is designed to make Reddit easier to navigate while keeping community perspectives at the center of the experience.

We’ll continue learning from how people use this new feature and refine the experience over time.

Original source

We know that the millions of conversations happening across Reddit are important for people and brands: In Q3 2025, Reddit’s Daily Active Uniques (“DAUq”) increased 19% year-over-year, while the number of ad conversions on Reddit has grown by more than 2x year-over-year.¹ To help advertisers more easily and effectively reach the right people with the right message on Reddit, we're introducing Max campaigns: our automated campaign type now in beta.

Enabled by Reddit Community Intelligence™ and AI that predicts the value of every ad impression, Max campaigns optimize campaign settings in real-time to drive better performance with less work. What’s more, where some automated campaigns on other platforms limit performance visibility, Max campaigns do the opposite: unlocking new creative and audience insights only possible with AI and Reddit Community Intelligence™. We think of it as opening the black box.

Better performance with less work

Max campaigns automate targeting, creative selection and rotation, placements, and budget allocation – while still providing advertisers with the right amount of control to apply their own strategic expertise.

We have been alpha testing Max campaigns with over 600 testers across verticals and business sizes this year. In a Max campaign promoting the launch of their Ghost 17 running shoe, Brooks Running saw a 37% decrease in cost per click and 27% more clicks while making no manual changes over the course of the 21 day campaign.² Across split tests comparing Max campaigns to advertisers’ business-as-usual campaigns, early testers saw 17% lower CPA and 27% more conversions on average.²

In addition to improving ad performance, Max campaigns also require fewer steps to set up and manage. Advertisers can optionally use Max campaigns to generate Reddit-ready creative assets. Headline suggestions provide advertisers with headline ideas that use trending Redditor lingo, while thumbnail generation converts advertisers’ existing images to fit Reddit’s conversation placement format. Soon, we’ll launch AI-based video cropping to make it easier to import videos from other platforms.

Opening the black box with AI-powered audience insights

Top Audience Personas are a new reporting feature only available in Max campaigns. With Top Audience Personas, AI clusters the campaign's audience into relevant personas (think new parents or ambitious home cooks) and allows advertisers to see which personas are viewing and interacting with their campaign the most, as well as what those personas are interested in right now. Top Audience Personas are the first of many planned insights that leverage AI to help advertisers better understand how automated campaigns on Reddit perform. What makes these insights unique is that they combine an advertiser’s campaign performance with Reddit Community Intelligence™, which turns Reddit’s 23+ billion posts and comments into structured signals that help advertisers better understand their audiences.

“Max campaigns quickly became one of our most efficient levers for acquiring new customers efficiently on platform. We saw stronger ROAS and lower CPA without needing to constantly rebuild audiences or tweak optimizations. It’s now a core part of how we scale performance, especially on focus categories like furniture, rugs and dining as we continue to grow our business.”

– Alexandra Mota, Performance Marketing Manager, Cozey

“New advertisers are coming to Reddit each day. Our goal is to make their experience as simple and insightful as possible. Max campaigns empower advertisers to launch high-performing ads in the right places on Reddit, while giving them insight into the audiences they’re reaching. We’re not just making ad management faster – we’re making it smarter and tailored to our community.”

– Jyoti Vaidee, VP of Ads Product, Reddit

Launching this week

This week, we’re launching the Max campaigns beta for traffic and conversion campaigns to select advertisers, with more advertisers receiving access over the coming months. Top Audience Persona reporting for Max campaigns will launch in the coming weeks. To create a Max campaign, choose the Traffic or Conversions objective when creating an Advanced Create campaign.

To kick off 2026, Reddit is showcasing how authentic conversations power discovery, consideration, and cultural momentum from our very own Conversation Bar at CES. Reddit’s CES HQ is located in Primrose 3 at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. The space will be open from Tuesday, January 6 and Wednesday, January 7 from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm, and Thursday, January 8 from 9:00am - 12:00pm (PST). Visit our microsite for more information, including where our senior leadership will be showing up throughout the week. For press inquiries, please reach out to [email protected].

Today, we’re announcing a limited alpha test of verified profiles–an update placing grey checkmarks next to a username–to help individuals and businesses, who wish to do so, confirm their identities on Reddit.

This feature is designed to help redditors understand who they're engaging with in moments when verification matters, whether it’s an expert or celebrity hosting an AMA, a journalist reporting news, or a brand sharing information.

We’re kicking this off with a small, curated group of individuals– most of whom have already self-identified on Reddit– as well as businesses that currently hold an official badge.

Pseudonymity has always been a core principle of Reddit, and this remains true with verified profiles. Our approach to verification is voluntary, opt-in, and explicitly not about status. It’s designed to add clarity for redditors and ease the burden on moderators who often verify users manually. We hope this test establishes a consistent way for individuals and businesses who wish to clearly identify themselves on Reddit. Accounts that receive the verification must still follow all existing community and platform rules and policies.

How verification works

For this initial test, we’ve selected a group of public figures and trusted partners. All selected users must opt-in, have accounts in good standing, and actively contribute on Reddit. We will share more if and when we decide to expand this initial test. At this time, users cannot request to be verified.

What’s included for individuals:

• A grey checkmark next to usernames across profiles, communities, feeds, post detail pages, and search results.
• Access to Reddit Pro, with a visible entry point on their profiles.

What’s included for businesses:

• The existing “official” watermark will be replaced with the new grey verified checkmark.
• Businesses will also test profile flairs to highlight content, such as AMAs or announcements that they’ve posted on their profile, so redditors can easily find trusted information.

As the program grows, eligibility criteria may evolve, but the core principles will remain consistent. Our goal for verification is that it adds clarity, supports communities, and remains voluntary and privacy-preserving.

Original source

20 years ago, Reddit began as a web page of 25 links from across the internet. Now, Reddit is the go-to place for community, news, culture, and information – 75% of redditors globally read online press at least 2-3 times a week.1 As the search ecosystem shifts, giving people a place to find headlines and discuss stories with real, human perspectives is more important than ever.

That's why today, we're introducing Reddit Pro tools for publishers to help media outlets easily share and track content across Reddit’s over 110M+ daily active uniques, and an improved link viewing experience for reading and discussing these stories.

Introducing Reddit Pro tools for publishers

We're opening a beta test waitlist for a suite of three new tools in Reddit Pro. Reddit Pro is our free-to-use toolset for organic business growth, and these new features are designed to help publishers find and engage directly with knowledge seekers on Reddit. Housed within an all new “Links” tab within Reddit Pro, beta testers can:

1. Get article insights: Publishers can track which of their stories are being shared on Reddit, see the specific communities they're shared in, and monitor key metrics like views, upvotes, and clicks. This data helps develop their strategy and grow an audience on the platform.
2. Auto import articles: Publishers can sync their RSS feeds and automatically import their articles to Reddit Pro, making them instantly shareable across Reddit.
3. Receive community recommendations: Publishers will receive AI-powered community suggestions for where to post their articles, ensuring their content finds the right audiences and generates meaningful conversations.

We have been alpha testing these tools with dozens of publishers covering every subject this year, including The Atlantic, The Hill, NBC News, and The Associated Press. Starting today, we're accepting applications for our beta test, with the goal of serving everyone globally by next year.

At a time when traditional sources of traffic are shifting, Reddit is a new avenue for publishers to grow their reach with a highly engaged audience. Over the past several years, Reddit’s partnerships team has worked closely with publishers and media organizations to help them build their Reddit engagement strategies, often resulting in Reddit becoming a top audience source.

"The Hill has always followed a trial-and-error strategy with social media platforms,” said Sarakshi Rai, Deputy Managing Editor at The Hill. “Reddit has been a valuable, vibrant community for The Hill, and Reddit Pro gave us the tools to engage with our readers who previously weren't hearing from us directly on the platform. We’re able to easily grow The Hill's presence and foster real discussions around our journalism. The platform has also become our top social referral traffic source, accounting for a rise of social media traffic to the site."

Building a better link viewing experience

We're also testing an improved way to read articles within Reddit. Users can access articles directly in the Reddit app, and simply swipe up to view comments and join the conversation. This makes it easier to engage in news discussion and ask questions to the posting publisher directly, without leaving Reddit.

These tools are just the first step in empowering publishers to engage more deeply on Reddit and giving users a conversation-forward reading experience. Our goal is to make Reddit a go-to place for distribution and discussion of real, human perspectives surrounding the latest headlines. We will continue improving this experience with additional functionality that makes Reddit easier to use for publications, editors, and reporters.

Ready to test? Publishers can visit business.reddit.com/pro/publishers and sign up for our waitlist. Eligible sign ups should expect to be accepted into our beta test in 1-3 weeks on a rolling basis. To learn more about Reddit Pro, visit our website.

To better reflect the vibrancy of Reddit communities, we’re updating how subreddit activity is displayed. Starting today, we’ll replace the “Member count” metric on each subreddit’s page with two new signals: Visitors and Contributions.

Unlike subscribers, which were often a measure of a subreddit’s age and not current activity, these new metrics show how many people are actively participating in communities and how much content is being created.

What’s Changing:

• Visitors: How many different users visited a subreddit in the past seven days, based on a rolling 28-day average.
• Contributions: The total number of non-removed posts and comments made in a community in the past seven days.

Mobile View

Desktop View

Why This Matters

Member counts don’t tell the whole story. In most cases, redditors don’t need to be a member of a community to post or comment, which means member totals have never fully reflected true engagement. With this update, Reddit becomes one of the first major platforms to publicly display active participation, focusing on meaningful, real-time engagement rather than subscriber numbers.

By emphasizing active participation over passive membership, we’re continuing to highlight what makes Reddit unique: real people engaging in real conversations.

Redditor Updates

Easily add emojis to your posts and comments on web

What’s changing?

You now have the ability to add emojis to posts and comments through emoji short codes on desktop. Type a colon followed by the word to describe your emoji (e.g., :smile) or directly type the emoticon (e.g., :;), and you will see a predictive emoji menu populate as you type. The predictive emoji menu currently only supports English shortcode matching.

When is this change happening?

This change is live on desktop.

Deprecation of composer markdown shortcuts

What’s changing?

Previously, we supported markdown formatting (e.g.: text = text) on post and comment composer on native mobile apps. As part of a broader initiative to improve technical performance, we no longer support markdown formatting in post composer for iOS or Android. We’ll also begin to deprecate markdown formatting on iOS and Android comment composer soon.

You’ll now be able to manage most formatting functionality via the rich-text toolbar, with the exception of block quotes (>) and numbered/bulleted lists, which we plan to add support for via the rich-text toolbar in the future.

When is this change happening?

This change started on May 4, 2026 for iOS and Android.

Evolving Reddit’s iOS UI with Liquid Glass

What’s changing?

We’re evolving the Reddit iOS interface with Liquid Glass, a design overhaul crafted to feel more native, fluid, and immersive. This update ensures Reddit feels more at home within Apple’s latest design language, prioritizing depth, clarity, and a seamless user experience.

What to look for:

• Modern aesthetic: A lighter, more breathable visual treatment that prioritizes your content.
• Intuitive navigation: Key controls now transition into persistent buttons, ensuring your tools are always within reach without cluttering the screen.
• Layered depth: We’ve refined spacing, added transparency, and smoothed out motion for a more tactile feel.

When is this change happening?

Liquid Glass begins rolling out to redditors on iOS 26+ starting the week of May 18, 2026.

Relocation of the Create button for iOS redditors

What’s changing?

We relocated the Create button (image) from the bottom navigation bar to the top navigation bar (top right-hand corner). This shift is designed to align with Apple’s latest ergonomic standards, ensuring that sharing your next post feels like a seamless extension of the community you’re currently exploring.

What to look for:

• Improved contextual intent: Easily post to the community you’re currently viewing with a more logical, header-based placement.
• Persistent visibility: For redditors on iOS 26+, the Create button will stay anchored and accessible at the top of your screen without cluttering your feed.

When is this change happening?

Relocation of the Create button for iOS is now live, but the persistent visibility will roll out the week of May 18, 2026. While this is iOS specific today, Android will be updated soon.

Testing design updates to the crossposting experience

What’s changing?

Starting this week, we’ll begin testing a series of design updates to the crossposting experience, including refreshed action bars on mobile web, updated naming and icons (image), and the removal of duplicate titles on iOS, Android, and desktop.

When is this change happening?

Testing will begin this week and continue through the end of the month.

Moderator Updates

Keeping SFW communities SFW

What’s changing?

Last month, we launched a new safety filter, the adult content promoter filter. The name is pretty self-explanatory, but it can help keep SFW communities free from unwanted or stealthy adult content promotion by identifying redditors who promote adult content anywhere on Reddit and filtering their content for your review (or removing it altogether).

To try it out, go to Safety Filters in your Mod Tools to turn the filter on and configure it based on your community’s comfort and norms. You’ll be able to customize the filter’s settings to include posts and/or comments and choose between Moderate and High filtering.

Last week, we also included the capability of the filter to exempt approved users. That means anyone you’ve added as an approved user will not be caught by this filter.

When is this change happening?

The filter launched in early April on all platforms and the ability to exempt approved users was added on April 30.

Post and comment guidance updates

What’s changing?

We’re adding a couple of new capabilities to both post and comment guidance to give mods more control over how they alert redditors to posting requirements before content is submitted.

New additions include:

• Post flair support: Trigger guidance based on selected post flair, helping mods guide redditors based on the type of post they’re creating.
• Comment-level distinctions: Differentiate between parent comments and replies, so mods can tailor guidance to different types of conversations.

When is this change happening?

These feature enhancements will start to roll out across all platforms in the coming weeks.

New mod tools navigation and interface

What’s changing?

We’re updating how you access and move between mod tools to make features easier to find and faster to use.

You’ll see:

• A single, more consistent entry point for mod tools.
• A streamlined menu that makes it easier to jump between key surfaces.
• Search built directly into the experience so you can quickly find what you need.
• Easier switching between communities while moderating.

When is this change happening?

This update will start to roll out across all platforms in the coming weeks.

Redditor Updates

A new app label for automated accounts

What’s changing?

Accounts that use automation in allowed ways (what many call “good bots”) will be labeled as App. If you see that label, you know you’re interacting with a machine, not a person.

When is this change happening?

The first set of labeled apps appeared on March 31, but we’ll be continuing to identify automated accounts in the future and either prompt them to register their app, or verify there’s a human behind the username.

You can read more about it in u/spez’s profile post, or get more of the specifics in our help article.

New games icon in Reddit's bottom navigation bar

What’s changing?

We’re introducing a game controller icon (🎮) in the bottom navigation bar - positioned to the left of Create - to guide redditors directly to our main games hub on Reddit. And yes, Reddit has games! You can check them out at r/GamesOnReddit or the side bar which can be opened by tapping or clicking on the top left three lines on iOS, Android, and desktop.

When is this change happening?

This started on the week of March 18 to 1% of logged in iOS and Android redditors.

Android photo picker update (more privacy, OS-native experience)

What’s changing?

We’ve updated how media uploads work on Android by moving from our in-app photo picker to the OS-level picker. This means:

• You no longer need to grant Reddit access to your full photo library – only the files you choose to upload
• The experience now matches the native Android media picker (so layout and folder views may look different depending on your device)
• Some previous features like in-app editing and broader folder browsing may be limited

For devices that don’t support the OS picker, a fallback experience ensures uploads still work reliably.

When is this change happening?

Available now on the Android mobile app.

Global protective teen default settings

What’s changing?

To protect teens’ privacy on Reddit, we’ve launched new default privacy settings for users under 18 globally, including followers set to OFF, profiles set to Hidden, and a locked NSFW profile setting. We’ve also restricted profile discoverability so a teen's profile won't show up in third-party search results.

When is this change happening?

This will be rolling out in early April on all platforms.

Profile header design updates

What’s changing?

We’re testing some updates to the profile header design to create a more consistent experience across platforms.

• Updated CTAs: Clearer “create” and “edit” buttons
• Shorter banner: Size parity across platforms
• Settings in top navigation: The settings option has been moved out of the overflow menu

When is this change happening?

This experiment started on March 9 and will continue rolling out on all platforms throughout the next few weeks.

Video in Comments available for profile posts and in select early access communities

What’s changing?

Starting next week, redditors will be able to post video in comments on their profile posts and in select communities.

When is this change happening?

We’ll begin rolling out to select early access communities on April 9th. For profiles marked SFW, rollout will also start on April 9th and expand gradually over the following month.

April 8 update: Rollout will now start mid to late April instead of April 9.

Entry points and links to r/all being removed starting today

What’s changing?

As part of ongoing efforts to simplify Reddit and improve Home feed personalization, the final steps to deprecate r/all are being implemented. All links to r/all will now redirect to the Home feed, following the prior removal of r/all entry points. Trending content remains available via r/popular.

Redditors on old.reddit.com, or those with settings that default to the old Reddit experience, will continue to access r/all as expected.

When is this change happening?

This change is live in our iOS and Android mobile app with desktop rolling out this week.

Moderator Updates

Advisor role now available

What’s changing?

We are launching the advisor role. The Advisor role is appropriate for moderators that wish to remain on the moderation team in an advisory-only capacity. Advisors will be empowered to communicate with the moderator team and view the information they need to advise the team on issues and best practices, but will not be able to take moderation actions themselves.

When is this change happening?

This is now available on Android and desktop. iOS is expected to roll out on the week of April 6.

Learn more.

Tools for onboarding and training new mods

What’s changing?

We’ve introduced new onboarding and training tools to help moderators get up to speed faster. These tools provide guided setup, examples of real moderation decisions, and optional context from experienced mods—making it easier to learn how to run your community from day one.

When is this change happening?

These features are now live.

The fix: The online indicator will no longer display an online status while the setting is disabled.

Bug: [All Platforms] Contributions number was displaying a low/incorrect number of actual contributions on some profile pages.

The fix: Total contributions counts are now displaying an accurate number of contributions.

Bug: [Android] When adding an image to a comment, some selected images would not appear in the comment composer.

The fix: Selected images will appear in the comment composer as expected.

Redditor Updates

End of support for mobile versions iOS v2022.04/Android v2022.15 and older

What’s changing?

Reddit will no longer support mobile app versions older than Android v2022.16 and iOS v2022.05. If you’re on older versions of the app, please update your app to the newest version or use mobile web if your device doesn’t meet the minimum OS versions (Android 9/iOS 15.0).

When is this change happening?

This change is happening on March 18, 2026.

New shopping experience within Reddit’s AI-powered search (Answers)

What’s changing?

We’re testing a new shopping experience within Reddit’s AI-powered search (Answers) that will help people make more confident and faster purchase decisions.

When someone asks an electronics shopping-related query in AI search, they’ll see a summary of products recommended from real Reddit discussions, posts, and comments. Below this summary, they may also see a visual carousel labeled Related Products that will showcase the products mentioned in the summary. Selecting a product card allows redditors to see more details about the product, where they can then link out to select retailers, learn more, or make a purchase.

When is this change happening?

This experiment has launched to a small set of US-based redditors on iOS, Android, and desktop.

Moderator Updates

Translation indicators in mod queue

What’s changing?

We’re allowing moderators to see content in their queue translated to their preferred language. Moderators can revert translated content to the original language by navigating to the post detail page. For more on translations, please see our help article.

When is this change happening?

This is available today on iOS and Android apps for moderators who have their language set to English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Tagalog, Filipino, or Thai. Desktop support will be rolling out soon, with additional app-supported languages coming later.

Recommended removal reasons

What’s changing?

We’re introducing recommended removal reasons to help streamline enforcement workflows. When removing a post or comment, mods will now see suggested removal reasons based on the existing removal reasons in your community.

These recommendations are assistive, not automatic. Mods can select, edit, or ignore them entirely. The goal is to reduce repetitive copy/paste work, improve consistency in messaging to redditors, and speed up enforcement without changing your underlying rules and posting requirements.

When is this change happening?

This feature is now out to 100% of communities with removal reasons enabled on iOS, Android, and desktop.

Learn more.

Old mod mail deprecation

What’s changing?

As of March 3, 2026, old mod mail has been fully deprecated. All mod communication now takes place in the latest mod mail experience.

The new system includes improved threading, filtering, search, permamute capabilities, and will be the only supported surface for mod communications moving forward. Since our last update, we’ve made the following improvements:

• Real-time updates for new messages within an open thread.
• Improved scrolling behavior when zoomed in on desktop browsers.
• The ability to link directly to a specific mod mail message.

Old mod mail is no longer accessible.

When is this change happening?

This was completed on March 3, 2026.

Mobile banner editing on Android

What’s changing?

Mods can now update their mobile banner image directly from Android. Previously, Android only allowed editing the desktop banner image, while mobile banner updates had to be done on web. Now both banner types can be managed from the Android mod tools.

When is this change happening?

This is live today.

Segmented polls for mods

What’s changing?

Mods can now create segmented polls when submitting a post. This allows moderators to run polls that are targeted to specific segments of their community, helping gather more relevant feedback and insights from the people most likely to be impacted by the outcome.

When is this change happening?

This is live today on iOS and Android.

Bug Fixes

Bug: [Android] Some comment automations couldn't be saved on the Android app

The fix: When saving certain comment guidance automations on the Android app, redditors will no longer see an Unsupported post prerequisite type for trigger error.

Bug: [Web] Mods were seeing validation error on hidden input error when trying to post a removal reason comment on web in some cases

The fix: When posting a removal reason as a comment, it will no longer throw a validation error on hidden input error and post correctly.

The fix: Deeplinking to a comment thread via the profile page will now display all navigation elements as expected.

The fix: Mod only flair is now visible when assigning user flair in the profile card after deeplinking.

Bug: [iOS] When editing a long text post, draft, or comment, the comment composer would not scroll to body text

The fix: The keyboard will no longer cutoff text when editing long text posts, drafts, or comments.

Redditor Updates

Reddit can now respect your system’s light/dark mode settings

What’s changing?

Reddit now offers better synchronization for light and dark mode on desktop and mobile web to provide a more seamless browsing experience.

If you select Auto in your Display Mode preferences, the new default for redditors, Reddit will automatically match your system settings. This ensures the site stays in sync whether you have your preferences set at the operating system level or through a specific browser override.

The platform also improved consistency for all redditors by adding support for logged-out redditors, meaning the choice will be remembered even when the user isn’t logged in.

When is this change happening?

This feature is live and available to all redditors on web globally.

Redditor Updates

Testing new app navigation and discovery

What’s changing?

We are testing design updates on the native mobile apps (iOS and Android) to improve how you find and navigate to content. If you are part of these tests, you may see the following updates:

• Easier search experience: A more prominent search bar on the main screen that includes a new Ask button for easier access to our AI-powered search experience (i.e. Reddit Answers).
• Simpler navigation: Moving Home, News, Reddit Games, and Latest feeds below the search bar and the Popular feed in the menu on the top left of the app. The bottom navigation bar includes a new Inbox tab to access all notifications and chats, a profile tab which takes you directly to your profile (the side profile drawer has been removed), and a Games tab to take you to a custom feed of developer-made games playable on Reddit.

When is this change happening?

The search and navigation experiments begin the week of December 1st for a small group of existing redditors on the native mobile app.

Sending unwanted chat invites to your spam inbox

What’s changing?

We’re starting to experiment with sending potentially spammy or harassing chat invites straight to your spam inbox. We’ll be using some aggregated signals at the user level, meaning if someone has a recent history of a lot of reports, blocks, or un-responded to chat invites, we’ll route new chat invites from them into your Additional Requests inbox within Requests. That also means we won’t send push notifications on those invites.

When is this change happening?

We’ll start experimenting with a small percentage of redditors in early December and should roll it out to everyone by the new year.

Moderator Updates

New community moderation achievements is now available in new and growing communities

What’s changing?

The new community moderation achievements experience is now live to help mods in new and growing communities (Safe For Work new and under 1,000 weekly visitors) set up their communities for success.

This feature is a guided roadmap that provides badges, progress indicators, and quick tips for critical moderation tasks like initial setup, promotion, and recruiting. It ensures you know the right next step to take, helping you grow your community.

Community color theming now on Android

What’s changing?

This update brings the look and feel you've already established on desktop web to the mobile app, ensuring a consistent experience for everyone.

• For mods: If your community already has color theming set on desktop web, it will appear on the Android app. Coming soon, you’ll also be able to set the color theme within Mod Tools directly on the native apps.
• For redditors: You'll now see color theming on Android for the communities that have enabled it. If you prefer not to see community styling and just the default view, you can also disable it from your user settings.

When is this change happening?

We’re rolling this update on Android this week. iOS support and ability to set theming within the native apps will follow in a future update.

Topic-based theming templates for new communities

What’s changing?

We're testing topic-based theming templates to help new mods quickly establish a visual identity for their communities. This feature allows you to select a topic, which instantly applies a preset of recommended color palettes, banners, and icons. This ensures your new community looks established, engaging, and ready for growth from the moment it launches. Colors, banners, and icons can be managed and customized at any time after community creation.

When is this change happening?

This feature is currently available for 50% of new communities on iOS and Android.

Post ideas experiment for new and growing communities

What’s changing?

We’re testing Post Ideas in select communities which allows mods to easily start conversations in new, niche, and emerging communities. In eligible communities (Safe For Work, and less than 1,000 weekly visitors), mods will be able to browse, select, and create linked posts from a list of relevant, suggested articles. Selecting a post idea takes you directly into the post flow with the article title pre-filled, so you can add your own context before posting.

Post Ideas.png

When is this change happening?

Post Ideas experiment is available to select mods in eligible communities on reddit.com and our native mobile app.

New rule-level toggles, mod preview, and insights log for Post Check

We’ve expanded Post Check with several new controls and visibility features for moderators:

• Rule-level toggles: Mods can now turn Post Check on or off for individual rules, giving you more granular control over which rules are triggered at submission time.
• Mod preview: A new preview panel shows you exactly what the Post Check experience looks like for users before you enable it.
• Insights log: Mods now have a transparent view into which posts are being flagged by Post Check, helping teams understand how rules are being applied and fine-tune their settings.

These changes impact the Rules hub and Post Check surfaces.
