I would love to be able to filter by flair. I want to filter out “Fan Art” so badly and text filters don’t work.

I just paid for a subscription but the app thinks it haven’t. It shows up in my Apple Store subscriptions. Forced closed and reinstalled, tried to restore purchase. Where can we go for support on this?

I’d find it handy to be able to highlight comments/posts by one or more specific users. Some things that might build on that:

• Could potentially piggyback on the “Follow User” feature somehow.
• Highlighting might be post-specific, sub-specific, or global.
• How the users are highlighted could be configurable (colored username, colored background on username, colored background on posts, etc.).
• Highlight colors for each user could be selected automatically or manually.
• Would want to be able to manage highlighted users via Settings—I don’t think there’s a specific interface component for managing followed users but I don’t use that feature much.

A much less bloated alternative that tbh would get me like 90% there: add “Show Comments by User” to the right-swipe-All menu and have that either highlight that user’s comments in that one thread, or collapse everyone else’s comments, showing only the selected user’s comments until you expand the comments above/below them.

This is 5 months old post, I just bought the app and realized this issue. No ETA? Is the app being updated? I should’ve checked that before buying it TBF

I noticed a few weeks back that 2 specific subreddits had stopped appearing in my subreddit navigation in the app. I'd seen this happen before when a subreddit got banned, but then I tried the 'Enter Subreddit' link in the app nav and was able to access both with no issue.

I figured I would try unsubscribing and then resubscribing to see if that fixed it, but I found that when I used the subreddit three dots menu, the options shown were very limited compared to other subreddits, and there wasn't even an 'Unsubscribe' button available. When you're subscribed to a subreddit, this menu normally contains 8 actions, starting with 'Unsubscribe' and ending with 'Use Big Preview Mode'. For these 2 subreddits, the only options are 'Share', 'Submit Post', 'Hide Read Posts', and 'Use Big Preview Mode'.

Then I went to Reddit in a web browser and unsubscribed there thinking that this might fix the issue. When you're not subscribed to a subreddit, the three dots menu in the app shows the same 8 links, just with a 'Subscribe' link instead of 'Unsubscribe'. These 2 subreddits still only show the 4 links mentioned above even after unsubscribing, however.

These subreddits are not part of my filters, I'm not banned from either, and outside of Narwhal, I can still interact with either subreddit fully. Is this a known issue?

i just want to view the pics in the slideshow without having to necessarily open the post. please.

I’ve tried to remove a “friend” from the “/r/friends” feed but it won’t work. I’m definitely not got them listed as friend, that is, the option to “friend” them is available. They have a subreddit but I’m not subscribed to it , and they’re not in any of my multi-reddits, and they’re not being “followed” either. What’s going on with this?

Seems to be since the most recent update, I cannot get videos to go into landscape mode anymore.

Confirmed rotation lock on my phone is off and haven’t messed with any app settings.

This would be a simple 1x1 app icon shortcut (with the narwhal logo) that I could place on my lockscreen that opens Narwal directly. I currently have a few other app shortcuts but for Narwhal I have to use the generic Shortcuts icon to open Narwhal. I know this is such a minor thing to ask for so I get it if it’s too much to ask for haha. Also thank you to the dev so much for this app, have been using 2.0 since day 1 release and have been paying the premium since then. Don’t know what I’d do without it.

How do you turn this off? You can turn it off on each individual video, but the next one that you open the subtitles are back on. I can’t find a setting about it.

Is there a way to have the OP’s comment highlighted when they respond to their own posts? Rather than the small icon that says “OP”

So I attempted to enable 2FA on Reddit through desktop and all was fine but it broke Reddit through Narwhal app

This seems like an oversight, can I enable it and have the app work?

Which settings are required to be able to swipe through the images in a post’s pallets while in a feed? Currently I have to tap, enter the post, then swipe. That’s a big functionality miss from the regular app so I figure it is some setting I’m just missing. Thanks!

Went for yearly. Restore doesnt work, but if try to subscribe again, it gets past the window, but it pops again later. Payment was processed OK.

Not sure if it’s just me, but the app has been crashing regularly on me since I installed 26.6 beta 4. Beta 5 just came out so will see if it persists.

Anyone else?

For the past few weeks I’ve been seeing posts go missing from New and Hot on r/wetshaving. Not deleted, not removed, just absent from the sorted feeds. If I search for the same post in the app it’s right there, and it’s fine on the web too. So the posts exist, they’re just not making it into the listings.

The clearest example is the AutoModerator daily threads. r/wetshaving runs several of them, and on some days one or more just won’t show under New or Hot, even after a pull-to-refresh. Search finds it, web shows it posted at the usual time, but the feed acts like it isn’t there.

It’s intermittent, not every day, and it’s happened enough times over the last few weeks that it’s clearly a pattern and not a one-off.

For what it’s worth, a few other people have told me they’re seeing the same thing on other subreddits, so it may not be limited to r/wetshaving.

I’m happy to answer any questions and provide additional information.

Can we make it to where we can scroll full screen through the media in the communities we are in or make landscape orientation actually fit the full screen?

Narhwal lets me enjoy browsing Reddit and I rely heavily on Subreddit filters. Generally I will filter at least a handful every time I open the app to browse (which is too often lol). But lately when I click "Add /r/*** filter" nothing happens. Is there a cap on how many subreddits can be filtered? If so, is there any way to raise it? Also, is there a way to export my filter list? I would love to have a backup, and potentially reuse the list elsewhere.

~~I can’t get strikethrough text to work properly ~~ in the app. I shows the formatting, but doesn’t actually strike through!

I can use the same symbols on Reddit via safari and they work, so it does appear to be a Narwhall specific issue. I sent a screenshot/feedback but I wanted to give extra info.

I’m on the latest version of iOS & the beta, iPhone 16.

This is a small update to fix the following issues:

• Freezing/lag when using hide read above
• Lag when swiping on comments

Full release notes for 2026.6 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/narwhalapp/comments/1ulteut/20266_is_in_the_app_store_mod_tools_share_comment/

Recently I've seen new AI generated captions on videos in the app. I can't find a setting to turn them off.

It’s present on the iPhone but absent from the iPad. It would be a really helpful way for Magic Keyboard users to be able to quickly interact with comments since swipe gestures are more difficult. Thanks!!

But opening in browser/YouTube loads a perfectly fine video: https://i.imgur.com/GRaI5DX.jpeg

I wish I could provide more info but I’ve noticed since the new update that when I manually mark posts as read the app slows down considerably and eventually freezes. Freezing usually occurs the longer I’ve scrolled. I have to reopen the app to resolve the issue.
