Hello r/redditmobile community! We are proud of the progress of the official Reddit mobile client that we all love and support. A lot of the ideas implemented wouldn't exist today without all of your help.

In an effort to consistently provide complete feedback to the dev team, we are introducing a new rule requiring that post titles must include your **[platform]** and **[app version number]** in the title. These must be in [brackets].

This is the app version number located at the bottom of the settings page. Note that only the highlighted numbers above are necessary but you can include the full version if you would like.

Here is how to access the settings page.

This new requirement will help keep the subreddit organized, help the developers better track of issues/requests for each platform, eliminate unnecessary comments asking which platform and app version you're using, and keep off-topic posts to a minimum.

Any post that fails to comply with this new rule will be removed by the automoderator and linked to this post so the user can understand the rule.

Examples of posts that will work:

Examples of posts that will **not** work:

Here is a previous post regarding helpful and effective bug reporting

If you have searched and found a bug that hasn't been reported before, it's always helpful to upload a screenshot or screen-recording. Reddit allows hosting images, gifs, and videos in-app but you can also use third party hosting sites like imgur, streamja, gfycat, etc.

Also, if you reference a specific post, please try to include a link to that respective post as well.

Great news! We have added Apple and android emojis into the user flair selection. As a friendly reminder, users can now set their user flair within the app.

Access the overflow menu (3 dot icon) in the top right of the subreddit and select 'change user flair'.

Edit: Added inline gif for accessing settings

Can this be pinned and have automod make it crystal clear the new requirements? I've had a post deleted like 3 times because every time I've had to add another thing to the title...

Any idea where the following is being rejected? ——-

“[iOS][2021.40.0.308.226]. Accidental swipe right loses unfinished replies.” ——

EDIT: Christ it’s because I had an extra period In the 13 digit version number. Nice. Good way to spend the last half hour. Very user-friendly.

Hello,

The new requirement makes it very difficult to report issues, by having to disrupt user work sequence to look at version number in the app, then manually return where you were to type it.

Please make these tags - os and version - fill automatically[1] (post abusively removed by mods/admins) by going into an app menu instead, where you would tap a "submit issue" menu, that would create a new draft post with these tags prefilled.

Currently "report a bug" sends me to a web view with a form[2], this should instead either go to a public github issue tracker or directly here with tags prefilled.

People are demanding answers from the Devs and the mods response is to pin a 3 year old post?

Where can I post a complaint about the mobile site itself? I'm tired of being told to get the app at least on every page, I'm tired of having to constantly tab back to chrome because the incessant and invasive adverts constantly stunting my ability to browse.

Since this is 3y old, it probably just needs an update.

My version number looks nothing like the screenshot in the OP.

At the bottom of my Settings page, I see a "Build Number" with the following version string: 2022.12.0.436848

[Android][3.20.0.226524] I tried editing my post so it would conform to this requirement. I tried re-posting, but my original post without an edit option keeps coming up. What gives?

The only version I found at the bottom was 2022.13.1.444621. Is this the right one?

There has been no progress, just feature removal and bug insertion. We don't love it and Reddit doesn't support it. I've switched to Boost. I kept following this sub hoping to see user proclamations thanking you for finally putting things back to the way they were (functional) but I've given up hope and I'm no longer following the sub. Bu-bye!

MAKE THIS EASIER. Use the built-in flair system, so we can just pick instead of having to leave the post to copy and paste... and only for it to get REJECTED because we used the word "Version" before the version number.

This is insane. I titled my post with [iOS][16], EXACTLY as shown in the example of a correct post title, and still get removed because my post lacked a version number. As if it wasn’t RIGHT THERE IN THE FKN TITLE, like it’s supposed to be! This shouldn’t be so hard.
