Dev/Admin Responded [IOS app] Losing place in comment threads after locking then unlocking phone.

Every time I lock my phone and then unlock it, my comment thread has jumped back up to comments I’ve already read. This was happening a couple months ago as well. It was seemingly fixed and now it’s happening again. Also my post feed refreshes pretty much every time I lock my phone. Maddening.

Thanks for the report! This is happening on my end as well. We've logged this as a bug and we'll be investigating a fix!

ETA September 28th: Hey folks - this fix will be releasing along with version 2026.39 this week. Please reference this post for status updates!

This is still happening when I’m navigating to other apps and then back to the reddit app, I lose my place in the thread.

u/peri_5xg 25d ago

Yes! I was gonna post about this but it looks like somebody already did. It’s really annoying

u/PotatoInTheExhaust Aug 25 '26

Still happening. Still a dreadful user experience.

u/kiefferbp 9d ago

u/rachbbbbb Aug 30 '26

Any idea when the fix is coming? It's so annoying.

2

u/CorrectScale Admin Aug 31 '26

The fix is in testing at the moment, should hopefully be available with the next app release.

u/PotatoInTheExhaust Sep 06 '26

The bug is still happening, two weeks, and two Reddit app updates later…

I’m up to version 2026.35.1 now. You guessed it… still happening.

Tried uninstalling & reinstalling the app too (and logging out then in again), for good measure. And you guessed it… still happening.

Could you guys please get it together? This shit has been making the app almost unusable for two weeks 🙄

u/viagra___girls 21d ago

Updates on this? Still happening.

u/PotatoInTheExhaust 20d ago

Still happening as-of Reddit version 2026.37.0 on iOS 😔

u/CorrectScale Admin 20d ago

Sorry! The fix is taking a bit longer than expected, I'll update folks when this is released!

1

u/RotenTumato 14d ago

Is this fixed yet? It’s been another week since this comment. Seems like this is taking an extremely long time

1

u/andthentherewasderp 8d ago

Still broken

2

u/FrogsOnALog 11d ago

Wondering what soon means because I’ve been having this problem for months now and it’s incredibly infuriating.

Also not sure if it’s been reported yet but it’s almost impossible to highlight / select things in the button row while typing a comment.

Also also when will we be able to use the quote function again?

Sorry for all the things and thank you for your time and work.

1

u/kiefferbp 9d ago

Yeah, it was broken for a while and then they fixed it for a short period, and then they broke it again. I think for the past 3-4 months it was only fixed for like a week or two.

2

u/SPFeveryday 10d ago

Any updates? Still happening and it really makes me want to visit Reddit less as it’s so frustrating.

3

u/RotenTumato 26d ago

This has not been fixed yet. Please fix this asap, makes the app near unusable

4

u/caatbox288 24d ago

Any news on this? It really is infuriating and makes me use Reddit way less

3

u/decadent-dragon 23d ago

Any update on this? It's really annoying

1

u/tomgreen99200 Aug 24 '26

Same here. Was working fine and looks like latest update has reintroduced this (running iOS / iPhone)

6

u/BaronvonCrush 25d ago

This is more than a bug. This is a major fuck-up in the app’s basic functionality. Get your shit together guys.

4

u/thrice1187 25d ago

How the fuck is this taking a month to fix?

3

u/Officialedmart 13d ago

lmao its been like 40 days of a busted app

5

u/No_Salad_2544 13d ago

“bug”. yeah right. they’re purposely trying to run up ad revenue. imagine how many more times you have to scroll past an ad when you keep losing your spot

4

u/LargeFatherV 11d ago

Yup, this is why there’s no rush in addressing this.

4

u/qx1001 Aug 20 '26

Yup this bug is back after latest update. 2026.33.0

4

u/smugbox Aug 20 '26

Happening for me too. Started (again) after the most recent app update.

4

u/laur_han Aug 23 '26

Happening for me too. It’s happened for months and I’ve tried to get support. Reinstall doesn’t work. Nor does log out and log in. Doesn’t matter what app. If I leave Reddit to check a text quick and come back—> to the top of the comments even if I was a hundred deep.

u/AlfalfaUnable1629 Aug 25 '26

Absolutely infuriating

3

u/solen5aq Aug 24 '26

This happened a few months ago and they fixed it with an update, but now the most recent update has caused it again. Drives me crazy.

4

u/No_Salad_2544 14d ago

people are saying that it’s intentional so they can run up ad revenue

3

u/No_Salad_2544 14d ago

ios 20 fucking 7 and still happening

3

u/SexyBenFranklin 13d ago

Still broken with today’s update. 2026.38.0

3

u/AlfalfaUnable1629 Aug 25 '26

This just started happening and it makes me so mad especially when im knee deep into comments on a large post, please make it stop

2

u/Pierogipuppy Aug 26 '26

Yes making the app practically unusable!

u/AlfalfaUnable1629 Aug 27 '26

Happy 10th cake 🍰 day and I agree completely. It’s nuts

1

u/peri_5xg 25d ago

Still happening, 15 days later… ugh

2

u/qx1001 Sep 02 '26

Just got update 2026.35.0. Still broken.

2

u/idek-lolll888 Sep 02 '26

me too im so frustrated and annoyed i thought this would finally fix it

2

u/autumnelaine 27d ago

I have also been having this issue. It’s extremely frustrating to the point that i’m avoiding posts with a large comment count entirely. Ugh please fix

2

u/peri_5xg 25d ago

Wanted to post this, but I didn’t know how to articulate the issue. It is still happening as of today… looks like I’m not the only one

2

u/EmmyWeeeb 22d ago

Just started happening to me after the most recent update. It’s so fucking annoying!

2

u/Sea_Abrocoma8622 18d ago

Still happening with most recent update.

2

u/TurtleManRoshi 15d ago

Commenting to say this bug is still an issue.

2

u/peri_5xg 13d ago

Still broken. I don’t know how it could be fixed tbh lol.

2

u/SammyGreen 12d ago

u/I_Am_Day_Man 10d ago

How is this STILL happening? At this point it almost feels intentional

u/WindReturn Aug 20 '26
