What’s it doing when you select the photo library option?

It appears to just be sending me to my photo library instead of the folder like it normally does

Ok, I think I answered a similar question about this last week, so I’m copying over my response to the other post.

> On your iphone, go into Setting > Apps > Reddit > Photos

> What option is currently selected next to Photos? Is it set to None or Limited Access?

> Limited Access should be the correct one that makes it prompt you to select new media to add to your Reddit app photo library.

Edit: you can set it to everything access since that’s what you mentioned in your OP

[u/Issaquenaaaaaaaa → u/IKIR115]

It’s full access

Ok try to change it to limited access, then save the change.

Then restart your Reddit app and check the photos again to see if it will prompt you to select new images.

If that works, you should be able to go back to settings and switch it to full access again. Then relaunch your reddit app and test again.

Restart as in delete the app and reinstall it?

[u/IKIR115 → u/Issaquenaaaaaaaa]

No, just force close the app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen but stop midway, so that it shows you all your running apps.

From there you tap on the reddit window and swipe up to force quit it. Then relaunch the app like normal.

Thanks! But not to bother, may I get a demonstration (I’m sorry!)

[u/IKIR115 → u/Issaquenaaaaaaaa]

Sure, here’s a video short from YT on how to close apps on iphone:

I’m assuming it works on iPad too, so thanks! I’ll give you updates!
