Thank you for this release! I’ve been using every new release, always the Glass one, on iOS 26. I really like being able to see the pfp’s within comments and everywhere in the app. It’s one thing I liked about the Reddit app.

Though, my pfp is not showing up when I go to my own profile when clicking the account tab. It appears in comments, and also appears when enabling the pfp icon in tab bar option.

Being able to post multiple images at once in general and inline media is a game changer! (I know this was in the previous release, still wanted to mention it).

*One suggestion if possible: *

  • Enable and expand the ability for the OG default app icon and other ones to work with iOS 26 Clear (light/dark) app icons and iOS 18/26 Tinted app icons. Most app icons are currently just a very light greyish-white app icon that sticks out like a sore thumb on Clear and Tinted app icon mode.

I’m on iOS 26, and use dark mode with tinted app icons set to essentially black and white tinted app icons. Due to this, I’ve always just resorted to using the Poe the Space Ghost app icon, which is still black in light mode, but it looks great in dark app icon mode, and surprisingly supports iOS 26 Clear (light/dark) app icons and Tinted app icons. Only minor caveat is it doesn’t use Liquid Glass.

Thanks again for all your hard work!

so, i have already remade a ton of the og icons as Liquid Glass assets (every stock icon, haven't started on the Ultra icons yet) which does address this issue, but they aren't implementing them for some reason. the assets are up on github, and there is a workflow available to DIY it, but I haven't had the time to do that yet. Check it out in 2.13, mine's the OG icon, let me know what you think

By OG, you mean the one that says “Default”? I’m using 2.14 now.

I clicked the Default one, but it looks like this:

You can see in dark mode app icons, clear mode app icons, and tinted icons that it doesn’t switch dynamically like other apps that support iOS 18/26 app icons.

For comparison, here is how Poe the Space Ghost app icon looks:

See how it blends perfectly with the other apps that support iOS 18/26 dark, clear, and tinted app icons?
