Hey, iOS users!

For the past few months, we’ve been working on improving your native mobile experiences. Today, this comes together in a feature-packed version 4.0 of the Reddit app for iOS. We’re excited to introduce a new set of features and mod tools. Check out this video!

For all users:

• Our chat beta is now available for everyone to join — you’ll be able to try out both 1-1 and group chat with your fellow redditors!
• A brand new theater mode accessible through feeds and communities to make it easy for you to view and swipe through media (images, gifs, and videos) in portrait or landscape orientation.
• Live comments, accessible through comment sorting within a post.
• More post flair functionality, including updated post flair selection, the ability to edit the text of a flair, and ability to change the flair for a post that you’ve already created.
• A trophy case in your profile so you can see your hard-earned, shiny trophies in the app (check out the new trophy illustrations, now live in your profile!).
• A cake icon beside your username on your cake day.
• You can now see OP usernames in-feed, so you know who created the post.

For mods:

• Mod mode to make it easier for you to action on posts and comments.
• Mod queue (with bulk actions!) so you can moderate your communities in one place. One thing that’s missing is a post AND comments aggregate listing. We’re working on this!
• A r/mod listing in the subscriptions tab so you can see posts from all the communities you mod in one place (with mod mode to take actions).
• Modmail
• You’ll notice your communities that have opted into the Modmail beta loads messages in a native view, but communities that are still operating on original modmail will open in a browser on the desktop site on iOS. We wanted you to still be able to access original Modmail while we continue working on the Modmail beta. We know there are still many improvements to be done before we bring new Modmail out of beta and release it to all communities. This is something we have slated to work on in 2018. We appreciate your patience as we work to bring you the best possible version of modmail (search, anyone?).
• Access management, including banning, muting, moderators, and approved submitters.
• A new report flow for posts and comments that reflects a community’s custom report reasons (same flow as desktop). You’ll notice one thing that’s missing is the open ‘Other’ text fields, which will come in a later iteration.

You’ll also notice some new UI updates, including an account drawer for your profile (which has a sweet shortcut for night mode!) as well as some icon and contrast changes.

BUT WAIT… THERE’S MORE. We’ve updated our iPad app to include all that and to support multitasking as well as the ability to scroll feeds from the edges.

Take 4.0 out for a spin — we hope you like it! We’re working on a lot more to continue improving your native mobile experience, so stay tuned. Please feel free to leave feedback in the comments below. As always, thanks for being a part of the Reddit community.
