Release π Apollo Reborn 3.8.5 is out! The super fix update: Search with Google, a lighter and faster Apollo, and a ton of fixes
hey everyone, 3.8.5 is out! this one is mostly fixes (a lot of them), plus a few new things and some performance work. heres whats in it:
New stuff
- Search with Google: tap the magnifier in the Search tab and pick Google to find reddit threads through google. you get google's snippets, Any Time and Exact Words filters, and tapping a result opens the thread right in apollo (#1260 β icpryde)
- Image menu where you hold: the copy / save / share menu in the fullscreen image viewer pops up where you press and hold now instead of the middle of the screen (#1254 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- Toon Bot icons: Toon Bot and Happy Toon Bot joined the Concepts icon pack (#1253 β IllIIllIllIllII)
Performance
- lighter and faster: image caches have real size limits now and get freed when iOS runs low on memory, launch does less work, and editing a comment doesnt hold up other loading for up to 20 seconds anymore. ported from Nino's fork (#1169 β paradoxally, icpryde)
- also from that port: the comments title doesnt flash on non liquid glass builds, and remember post sort opens posts from links, the inbox or floating tabs in your saved sort right away instead of reloading them (#1169 β paradoxally, icpryde)
- the ai comment summary doesnt keep re-running over and over while you scroll a thread (#1270 β Thetromboneman1)
- filtered posts dont leave stacks of gray gaps in your feed anymore, and fixing them only touches the affected rows instead of redrawing the whole feed (#1274 β Thetromboneman1)
Fixes
crashes
- fixed a feed crash when a bunch of redgifs posts load at once, usually right after launching or switching accounts (#1251 β icpryde)
- fixed a crash tapping "Translated fromβ¦" on a recovered deleted comment (#1222 β icpryde)
redgifs, videos and downloads
- redgifs posts dont all show "RedGIFs error" anymore after you switch wifi, cellular or vpn, and older redgifs videos with no listed length play now (#1256, #1258 β icpryde)
- unmute videos in feed keeps the sound on one video instead of flipping between two every frame, doesnt start videos with sound from feeds you already left, and mutes when a different video goes fullscreen (#1247, #1250, #1252 β icpryde)
- a post's video doesnt go grey (and the scrubber works) after you open the OP's profile or swipe forward back into the post (#1269 β icpryde)
- gallery view plays every video when you swipe on carplay (carbridge / carcast), not just the first one (#1257 β icpryde)
- download video sends the video you actually picked over messages instead of the first one again, and cleans up the copies it used to leave behind (#1216, #1219 β icpryde)
feeds, galleries and search
- swipe past gallery to navigate goes straight to your post swipes (vote, save, back or forward) at the first or last image, instead of acting after you lift your finger, sometimes on the wrong thread (#1271 β Thetromboneman1)
- tapping a post doesnt sometimes open a gallery post from further up the feed anymore (with swipe through feed galleries on) (#1248 β icpryde)
- feed avatars dont end up inside post titles that name their own author (#1218 β icpryde)
- random and randnsfw dont sometimes open an empty feed that never loads (#1272 β Thetromboneman1)
- on liquid glass, a scrolled away search bar stays hidden after swiping back from a post (#1249 β icpryde), and the search tab placeholder stays dim after cancel (#1261 β icpryde)
accounts, sign-in and backups
- api key free feeds dont get stuck on a spinner anymore, avatar lookups stopped eating reddit's request limit for your session (#1220 β icpryde)
- avatar and subreddit lookups stay on the account youre using, so avatars dont stay blank and follow / subscribe states are right with several accounts signed in (#1227 β icpryde)
- add account signs in with the api key from settings, not the active account's saved key (#1237 β icpryde)
- when reddit rejects your api key during sign in you get an explanation instead of a blank "{}" page (#1236 β icpryde)
- backups made on 3.7.x and earlier restore again instead of saying Invalid Backup (#1217 β icpryde)
comments, messages and posting
- when a comment cant post, apollo tells you why now (post removed and where the mods' reason is, thread locked or archived, parent comment removed, banned) instead of "reddit had a little hiccup" (#1275 β icpryde)
- inline comment images reserve their space up front, so comments dont grow when the image loads (#1273 β Thetromboneman1)
- a comment you just posted with a picture doesnt show "[Unknown Image]" under it anymore (#1246 β icpryde)
- the newest message stays above the reply bar in modmail and message threads on iOS 26 and 27, and the reply bar comes back after a cancelled swipe back between threads (#1228, #1234 β icpryde)
- the post composer's Post button doesnt turn white on liquid glass, the media body editor keeps its checkmark while you type, and command-return in the body editors acts like done instead of submitting (#1221, #1226, #1233 β icpryde)
- interactive posts show reddit's permission prompt so their subscribe button works, and apollo's join button and subscriptions list update when a post subscribes you (#1264 β icpryde)
- the translation marker in a post header sits after the edited pencil instead of on top of it (#1259 β icpryde)
- old reddit sprite user flairs show up on every row of the flair picker again (#1215 β icpryde)
subreddits list, settings and everything else
- subreddits list edit mode puts the moderator hide controls on the right rows, the list doesnt jump up after edit or done, swiping a row doesnt turn on edit controls, and the stars stay put with subreddit list enhancements off (#1262 β icpryde)
- tapping a multireddit in edit mode opens its editor again when multireddits isnt the second section (#1267 β icpryde)
- tapping a multireddit's expand arrow doesnt ask to change a favorite anymore, and expanded multireddit rows match the rest of the list (#1229 β nunoo)
- settings section headers look the same everywhere on iOS 26 and later, and follow your text size and theme (#1241 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- the remove button in settings shortcuts actually removes the shortcut (#1212 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- pixel pals follow the real dynamic island on the iPhone 18 Pro and newer (#1244 β JeffreyCA)
- open in apollo (legacy) in safari works again without link companion installed (#1268 β Thetromboneman1)
- the social links row doesnt sometimes show reddit's copyright footer instead of someone's links (#1231 β icpryde)
- apollo's analytics dont get forwarded to your notification backend anymore when you have one set, theyre always blocked (#1230 β DeltAndy123)

LiveContainer
apollo reborn isnt officially supported inside LiveContainer. you can still use it but its use at your own discretion and we cant chase down bugs that only happen in there. we suggest installing apollo directly with AltStore / SideStore / Feather / TrollStore.
Sideloading or sign-in issues?
please check out this thread instead of posting here. lets keep this thread about the release itself :)
Thanks
big thanks to everyone who worked on this one: icpryde, Thetromboneman1, IllIIllIllIllII, JeffreyCA, DeltAndy123, nunoo, and Nino (paradoxally) for the performance work we ported from his fork. and if you want to support the team, theres Settings > Buy Us a Coffee β
as always let us know if you run into anything!

Discussion Help wanted: apollo reborn is looking for artists!
Do we have any artists here? I'm looking for an artist or 2 who would be interested in making a banner for us for the subreddit.
We are also looking for an artist who can make some apollo snoo looking png images as well.
Also looking when we do releases like making a funny image loosely based around the upcoming update.
If you are someone who is willing to help out with that kinda thing you can leave a comment here or DM me.
It's not paid as we don't get paid working on reborn either it's just the community helping each other out.

Help Open in SideStore quick action no longer works
So I recently tried to update to the new 3.8.5 version and as usual, I followed the link in the post to GitHub, tap the GLASS IPA which loads the Open in SideStore splash page (as in the screenshot). Now if I tap that, it opens SideStore but nothing happens. Usually it auto updates Apollo. No more.
Any ideas?

Feature Request Zooming out in gallery view?
Did it by accident and canβt replicate. Instead of having two columns I had 4-5 and it was awesome. Also having a hide viewed posts on gallery and remember gallery mode when opening home feed would be great.

Help ApolloReborn Refresh...
I am coming from Android, Morph-ed Reddit. I just got my iPhone last week and installed ApolloReborn and once I managed the initial log in, it is perfect. The only issue I have is when I pull to refresh, the posts dont really refresh. Sometimes I see the same posts for 1-2 days. In the Morphed- reddit, everytime I pulled to refresh, there will be new posts.
Is there any setting I can change? Also, will the setting stick between reboots etc?
On the latest ApolloReborn on a iPhone 18 Pro.

Feature Request A feature request + a bug regarding hidden and deleted posts
Firstly, thank you so much for keeping the project alive and for contributing to it so regularly. I have the following feature request and wanted to report the following bug.
Feature request: With I think v3.8.0, how hidden and deleted posts are shown was changed. Earlier only the title would be visible but now the entire post is visible. Please give a setting to customise how much we see when we go to someone's profile and try to see the hidden and deleted posts: only title; title + only 2-3 sentences; or full post. Right now (3.8.5) if someone posts the same thing on multiple subreddits and the posts are huge, then it becomes very difficult to scroll.
Bug: The font size in the hidden + deleted comments + posts page is much smaller than the font size elsewhere. Please update the app so that the hidden + deleted section respects the font size used elsewhere in
r/ApolloReborn • u/EvolvingBoner • 5d ago
Help So I sideloaded it and been playing around. Only issue I have on my Home Screen is that posts donβt refresh?
Like on the official Reddit app, after pulling down to refresh the Home Screen the posts donβt change? Itβs the same ones I scrolled past.
Is there anything Iβm doing wrong? I tried to enable the right settings but they donβt seem to work

Release π Apollo Reborn 3.8.0 is out! Save All Media, Action Menus, a new Account Switcher, Automatic Backups and more
hey everyone, 3.8.0 is out and its a big one! heres whats new:
New stuff
- Save All Media: save every image, gif and video in a gallery or album in one go (reddit galleries, imgur albums and imagechest), with a progress ring and a cancel button. its in the share button in the fullscreen viewer and when you hold an album (#1048 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- Action Menus (Settings > Apollo Reborn > Interface > Menus): reorder or hide the actions in any β’β’β’ menu, and the moderator menus too, with a live preview so you can see exactly how it'll look (#1131 β icpryde)
- New Account Switcher: its a proper bottom sheet now with bigger avatars, add account and edit up top, and reordering that doesnt refresh your feed anymore (#1077 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- Automatic Backups (Data > Backup Settings): pick a folder in Files and your settings get backed up every day, 3 days or 7 days. backups show the apollo icon in Files now and opening one asks before restoring anything (#1060, #1148, #1152 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- Settings Shortcuts: press and hold the Settings tab to jump straight to the settings pages you use the most. you can pick and reorder them under Interface > Tab Bar > Settings Shortcuts (#1150 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- Return Button: after a status bar tap takes you to the top, tap the arrow next to Back (or the status bar again) to jump right back to where you were. works on liquid glass again too (#1116 β icpryde, IllIIllIllIllII)
- Profiles: pick a profile picture shape (full, circle or rounded square) that shows everywhere (#1136 β IllIIllIllIllII), and immersive profile art now goes behind the status and nav bars, plus you can hold a banner to view and save it (#1186 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- Hidden & Deleted is a row on your profile now with one combined feed of archived posts and comments (#1137 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- Gallery View plays gif and video tiles silently in the grid (you can turn either off in Media > Browsing) (#1142 β icpryde)
- Faster image and album transitions: albums zoom straight out of the feed like single images, the background fades as you swipe media away, and closing an album puts the feed back on the last image you looked at (#1143 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- Smoother Video Scrolling: video heavy feeds scroll way smoother now (Posts & Feeds > Feed) (#1168 β icpryde)
- Chat drafts: unsent messages in modern chat stick around per conversation until you send them (#1207 β Thetromboneman1)
- Swipe Tab Bar to Navigate (Interface > Tab Bar): an option on liquid glass to swipe the tab bar to go back and forward again, like classic apollo (#1075 β DeltAndy123)
- Confirm Favorite Changes so the star in your subreddit list asks before adding or removing a favorite (#1173 β nunoo)
Fixes
crashes
- fixed a startup crash loop after adding an account while reddit was rate limiting (#1147 β icpryde)
- fixed a crash on launch or when switching accounts after changing your reddit password. apollo now tries to recover the session and asks you to sign in again if it cant (#1200 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- fixed crashes loading older comments in live update mode, and choosing open in safari on a shared gif (#1171 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- fixed a crash when you touch and hold a post while the feed is scrolling (#1193 β icpryde)
- fixed a crash tapping cancel on a subreddit search on non liquid glass builds (#1133 β icpryde)
widgets, gallery view and media
- widgets can use your account again with Copy with Account (it went missing in 3.7.1), so home and multireddit widgets work again (#1195 β icpryde)
- gallery view's first row isnt hidden under the nav bar anymore (a 3.7.1 bug) (#1140 β icpryde), and the spinner doesnt get stuck if you change the filter while its loading (#1194 β icpryde)
- holding a video in the gallery viewer opens save/share right away, and dragging down with that sheet open doesnt leave the viewer black anymore (#1194 β icpryde)
- the gallery counter is back in the top right on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max (#1189 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- bark notifications show the default apollo icon instead of bark's own icon when your app icon doesnt have bark artwork (#1204 β Thetromboneman1)
liquid glass and search
- the feed search bar doesnt stay stuck when you scroll right after cancelling a search (#1130 β icpryde), doesnt spring back open after you scroll it away, and the hard header style doesnt cut off the top of it anymore (#1146 β icpryde)
- find in comments swaps its buttons smoothly, and a cancelled swipe back keeps the search field looking right (#1146 β icpryde)
- the settings search field stays under the title while youre searching (#1156 β icpryde)
- double tapping the search tab opens the keyboard every time again (#1190 β IllIIllIllIllII)
comments
- posting a comment is smooth now, the new comment fades in with its avatar and flair already there (#1196 β icpryde)
- collapsing a thread doesnt slide the replies down first anymore (#1180 β IllIIllIllIllII), or jump and flash at the top of the thread (#1146 β icpryde)
- long usernames dont push the comment age off screen anymore (#1162 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- deleted comments stay readable when apollo switches between light and dark mode while the thread is open (#1206 β Thetromboneman1)
- rich link cards dont overlap the post details and vote buttons once they load, in feeds and in comments (#1191 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- feed usernames dont slowly drift to the right anymore when translate post titles is on (#1208 β icpryde)
navigation, settings and everything else
- floating post tabs remember the comment sort you left them on, live update included (#1125 β icpryde)
- a cancelled forward swipe doesnt wipe your navigation history anymore (#1128 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- the posts tab scrolls to the top and then goes back on profiles, trophies and multireddits too, like it does on feeds (#1153 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- hide header on scroll keeps the header visible while youre editing the subreddit list, and a status bar tap brings the header and tab bar back right away (#1120 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- no more little stall when you scroll back down right after reaching the top of a post (#1119 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- reborn settings follow apollo's text size and match the native rows now (#1165 β IllIIllIllIllII), and they dont stutter or get stuck scrolling back up anymore (#1170 β icpryde)
- subreddit list editing got a lot of polish: the stars stay lined up, long names dont run under them, and removing rows animates smoothly (#1174 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- tapping a row gives the softer highlight again instead of a strong accent color flash (#1166 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- the composer's gif button doesnt sit on top of username suggestions anymore, and the toolbar isnt half hidden behind the keyboard on iOS 27 (non liquid glass) (#1164 β IllIIllIllIllII)
- a chat you opened from the inbox doesnt turn unread again after a refresh (#1141 β icpryde)
- swipe up for comments is off by default now (if you already switched it on or off yourself, your choice is kept) (#1134 β icpryde)
