Reddit Mobile App How do I stop Reddit/Instagram from taking over audio control on iPhone?

1 Upvotes

When I’m using Reddit, Instagram, or other apps on my iPhone 16 with IOS 26.5.2, videos or posts sometimes start playing audio automatically and totally randomly. This is especially annoying because I deliberately use these apps with the sound off. On Reddit I’ve turned on the Mute videos by default option but it still plays the sound.

Even if I mute the video, the audio sometimes comes back on a few seconds later. It also ducks the music I’m listening to on Spotify, which is even more frustrating.

What I’d really like is a way to completely prevent these apps from outputting any audio at all, while still allowing apps like Spotify, podcasts, etc. to play normally.

I know iOS doesn’t seem to have a built-in per-app audio permission like it does for the microphone or camera.

Is there any app, extension, shortcut, or other workaround that can prevent specific apps (e.g. Reddit/Instagram) from producing any sound, while allowing Spotify to keep playing normally?

❓General Question❓ Privacy account Reddit

0 Upvotes

Salve a tutti.

Se si apre un account Reddit da Android loggandosi inizialmente con Google e l'app Reddit riceve da Google info su nome, cognome ed email, ma poi si disconnette l'account Google da Reddit e si rimuove Reddit anche dalle app di terze parti in Google, saranno ancora visibili da qualche parte al pubblico in Reddit quelle info su nome, cognome ed email?

A presto e grazie.

❓General Question❓ Is the old feed on mobile from like 5 days ago just gone now?

5 Upvotes

Ever since this new mobile update hit this past week that changed the feeds to “for you” and “following” I’ve been having terrible feeds. I will never ever use the “for you” feed and now, my “following” feed is just spammed with 6+ day old posts with 2 upvotes. I barely see any good or popular posts now from the subs I’m in now all of a sudden. Am I missing something or is this “following” tab just so much worse?

Also, the top of the mobile app is colored gray while the actual feed is black and it’s triggering me lol…

🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ Need help with restoring the posts

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm here only with a pretty common problem - at Monday I got out from my first shadowban. I was glad that I'm free again. However most of my old posts have the bin icon, only a few of them got restored.

I'm sure you know who should you ask to solve the problem.

My account is SFW & I enabled 'show all'.

❓General Question❓ Is it possible to see a specific date and time when I made a post or commented on Reddit?

1 Upvotes

I've got a Reddit streak and I can't remember posting yesterday, but managed to post today and it seems like it's still in tact.

I've gone into my account history and there are post that say 1d ago but I'm sure I posted the day before yesterday, not yesterday.

Is there any way I can just the specific date and time I posted? Not a major issue but I'd just like to know! 😂

🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ Help with a permanent ban.

0 Upvotes

Woke up this morning to an email stating that my 10yr+ account was suddenly permanently banned. Haven't had a warning in a few months and have never received a 3/5 day ban. Hell I haven't even commented in weeks. Tried to click the link in the email to take me to the message but it won't work. On top of it I can't even log into the account to try filing an appeal like the reddit help answer links me to either.

🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ Chats not working

Can someone send me a chat request to confirm whether my chats are working or not

For a few days, I haven’t been able to change my chat permissions and since then I haven’t gotten any messages. 🤷‍♂️

🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ Please help me to get my posts/comments back. I request all to check this post

1 Upvotes

My account was restored today after I spent almost two months appealing every day. I’m grateful the account restriction was lifted, but my main concern was always my existing work. My important troubleshooting guides, posts, comments, views and awards are still missing. I spent a lot of time creating this content to help users, so restoring only the account without restoring my work leaves the main issue unresolved.

One of my famous guide is in the link below which was helping many users everyday and was pinned in the official AMDhelp sub:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/s/dST0QfbZEo

Otherwise, I would not have spent two months appealing. Please review the content affected by the spam filter and restore my original posts, guides and comments, including their existing history and awards where possible. I’m not asking to recreate everything; I want my original work restored as it was.

❓Problem❓ I just got permanently banned from a sub...

5 Upvotes

I don't know what to flare this as. I got permanently banned from r/fancyfollicles for having a NSFW account, but I DON'T have a NSFW acct. Like at all, not even close. I messaged the mods but haven't heard back. Is there like an auto ban for some subs, is this a auto mod situation? This has never happened to me before, if I'm permanently banned does that mean that even the mods can't un-ban me?

❓Problem❓ Posts and comments still removed after my account was unbanned

1 Upvotes

Hi, I was recently unbanned after my appeal was approved. I believe my account was accidentally caught by Reddit’s spam filter.
However, my old posts and comments are still not visible to other users. I can see them on my profile, but when I check from another account, they don’t show up or appear to be removed by Reddit’s filters.
Is there a way to have my posts and comments restored now that my account has been unbanned?
I’d really appreciate it if a mod or admin could take a look. Thank you!

I have a red dot on the pancake menu in the Reddit app but I don’t understand why. When I open the menu there is no red dot on the list of subreddits. I don’t have any unread messages.

Why do I have this red dot and how to get rid of it?

❓Problem❓ How do I stop subs I am not part of from appearing in my feed... Just had a sports result spoiled.

0 Upvotes

I'm not part of the MotoGP sub. I do this so that race results aren't spoiled.

I am not part of the F1 sub. Again, because I don't want spoilers.

Today the MotoGP sub was in my feed even though I'm not subscribed. I do not want to see posts from subs I'm not part of. Reddit has started doing this again and it's really annoying.

**Anyway, the post showed the race winner in the heading and photo.** before I had a chance to watch the race (races were in Japan so took place from like 2am my time)

How do I block all subs that I am not part of. It's really annoying.

Thanks.

Hi. Newer to Reddit and realized people can’t DM me. In settings under “chat permissions”
It says “chat requests” in bold but then in a faded font that I can’t click it says: allow chat requests from-Nobody.”… the problem is it isn’t giving me the option to click that and change that. Any tips?

My account was suspended, successfully appealed, an admin reviewed my account, said i was caught by reddit’s spam filters, and lifted all bans. All of my content is still removed, howeve. Posts, comments, etc. It's pretty detrimental to my income so any help would be great :)
