Bug: A thick black bar spans the full width of the screen directly above the floating bottom navigation bar (Home / Inbox / You), covering whatever feed content is behind it.

Where I saw it: News feed. In my screenshot it cuts across an ad image, with feed content visible above and below it.

Device: iPhone 17 Pro Max
iOS version: 27.2
Reddit app version: 2026.43.0

What I was doing: Scrolling the News feed when I noticed it.

Expected: Feed content visible right up to the nav bar, with no black bar.
Actual: A solid black bar across the full width sits above the nav bar.

Screenshot attached.

[Note, this IS NOT a request to re-instate a banned account or to remove a suspension, this is about a bug I discovered as a side effect of that.]

On October 24th I posted a comment which criticized someone else for posting a slur on Twitter (I quoted them accurately but censored the slur; however, it still probably tripped Reddit's text filters) and got this suspension notice:

Banned 3-days for hate

We flagged the following as a potential policy violation:

However, at the time, the comment had been removed by Reddit. (I appealed and the comment got restored.)

The bug, however, is that the link in question pointed to the comment, which had been deleted, which means if you click on the link it just says "Removed by Reddit".

This seems like a bug, if the point is to inform the user of what they posted that triggered the ban, but if they click on the link, the content is not there.

One fix would be for the system to copy and paste the offending text into the notification that is sent to the user.

Tried reinstalling the app, but hasn’t resolved the issue

You can't read what you're typing.

[Note, this is not a post about a ban. This appears to be a system bug where my account is in a state where new posts get taken down automatically.]

For most of my time on Reddit, having a new post automatically taken down by Reddit (as opposed to being automatically taken down by auto-moderator for breaking a subreddit rule I didn't know about) was very rare. Now, the last four things I posted just got automatically taken down by Reddit's filters, even though they were all in subs that I've posted in before without a problem.

This seems like a bug in the system, rather than a one-off issue to handle with an appeal. Either you're able to use the site or you're not; if you are, all of your posts should not be getting taken down automatically.

The only other thing that happened recently was that I got a 3-day Reddit suspension for posting this comment:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleWA/comments/1xei4yi/comment/19rlzw9b0xcat/

but that was probably because I was quoting a slur used by someone else (even though I used the censored version). I got that decision overturned and the comment got restored, but now my account is in a state where seemingly everything I post gets instantly taken down (so we'll see about this post!).

I did make one post since then that didn't get taken down:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bugs/comments/1xh2blx/desktop_web_but_also_all_platforms_when_you_get_a/

but maybe that subreddit has different filtering rules, to allow people to post bug reports.

Other than that, here are the last four things I posted, all of which got taken down automatically:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/1xhae5q/spotted_from_passenger_seat_yesterday_above_405/
[Identical to the previous one, except that the previous one had no body text so I added some body text in case that fixed it.]

Would you agree this looks like a system bug of some kind?

Subs I never joined are in my homepage. I have this feature disabled.

I can make posts that people see and comments seemed fine to me until I noticed they have no views so I had a friend check and they can't see my comments on posts

I can't repost anything from my phone. My profile comes up but shaded out as unavailable

I’m experiencing a serious bug with the Reddit iOS app that has effectively locked me out of my account.
I had just opened Reddit, made one comment, and attempted to change my profile banner (cover photo).
Immediately after attempting to upload the banner, the app began malfunctioning and rapidly flashing repeated error messages. It became so bad that I had to force-close the app.
When I reopened it, I received these messages:
• “Looks like Reddit is having some trouble.”
• “Your request has been rate limited, please take a break for…”
The rate-limit message now appears immediately whenever I open Reddit, preventing me from accessing my feed, profile, or settings.
I was NOT spamming, repeatedly commenting, or refreshing pages. I had only made one comment before attempting to change my profile banner.
It appears that the banner upload triggered an error loop, possibly generating repeated requests that caused Reddit’s rate-limiting system to restrict my account.
I’ve attached a screenshot of the error.
Is there a way to get this restriction removed? I shouldn’t be locked out of my account because of an apparent app malfunction.

I'm getting "Error saving changes, please try again" when editing my Reddit profile. Simple text like "ahh" saves, but my original display name and bio don't. I tried shortening my bio, but it still errors. Is this a bug or is something in my text triggering it?

When I select a media to view in full screen from the feed, I now do not find the upvote, downvote, comments or other icons. But when open the same media by opening comments first and then open the media, I can now see the icons. I found out that in ios settings > Appearance > Liquid Glads, if we set the slide to max or aka more tinted, this issue occurs. But if we reduce it even a little, this will not happen. I use an older vet iphone and to keep it responsive, I set this this max / more tinted.

I just witnessed an upstream service return a service unavailable. Will reddit report this on the status page or will reddit continue lying about its SLA?

I’m still facing the same issue concerning my messages in chat it’s keeps disappearing however the other person messages still exist

I’ve tried to clear cache, uninstalling the app & reinstalling again, turning on the persistence message, I also checked all the security checks

Non of above helped me to fix the issue

Here is provided link as example to check from any admin : https://www.reddit.com/chat/room/!kcsDCPpLGyU2tYHHcg9cs8zN6ApRFUXaz-J1g14nqxI%3Areddit.com

Hello,

I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the recent changes to the mobile web version of Reddit. Forcing users to download the official app by blocking or limiting access via mobile browsers is an aggressive and user-unfriendly practice.

I value my freedom of choice, privacy, and digital hygiene. Due to this artificial restriction and aggressive tracking push, I have decided to completely stop using Reddit.

Please pass this feedback to the product management team. Users should have the right to choose how they access the platform without being forced into installing software.

Best regards,

Alexey

The default profile icon and name still shows "[Deleted]" for those who used it.

What to do?I've had my account for about half a year and it always says 2 minutes

I was trying to post a photo & realized that I needed to grant “allow all” permission. I did but nothing changed.
I switched back to “selected only” & updated which photos were included. Nothing changed.
It will still let me upload videos that it no longer has permission for (?) but will not update the photos selected.
The ones I deselected were removed but it won’t add anything.

I cleared my local history, logged out, restarted my iPad several times. Nothing.

The real kicker? When I try to upload pictures to this subreddit the permission is different from other subreddits.
It currently will let me upload any photo in my library here despite only having limited permission.
But in another subreddit it’s stuck on photos selected from a week+ ago & won’t update. It still displays videos that are not selected.

When I selected these pics to upload it had me confirm that I only wanted selected photos to just turn around & grant itself permission to all photos again…
Pic 1: videos it does not have permissions for anymore but won’t remove
Pic 2: my entire photo album being displayed after re-confirming I only wanted selected permission…
What’s going on with photo permissions?

[Android], Whenever I try to set a nickname or an avatar, I get this error; I’ve been trying to set a nickname all day, and it’s the same error every time. Version 2026.42.0

The post upvote/downvote count does not seem to display any number below 0. The comment upvote/downvote count continues to display negative numbers, but the post count always stops at 0.

No matter what you do—whether it’s clearing the cache, wiping data, or restarting the app—if you choose not to receive notifications for a comment or post, the notifications continue to appear for the user.

App version: 2026.42.0

The quality of videos often suddenly drops halfway through, even with fast internet connection. I've had this issue for a while, and updates didn't change anything so far. I'm using the Reddit app on Android, no third-party.
