Whoever decided that pressing the back button on the Reddit Mobile app doesn't take you to your previous application (like every other app on mobile), but instead starts flipping back to Old pages that you visited, should be banned from industry.

You sure it's not your browser?
Most mobile browser will refresh the page if you're already on the top of the page and scrolling up.

It's the Reddit app. And it seems to only be if someone posts an image. And I know I'm not at the top of the page when it happens.

It used to be you could just go through the browser so it will behave like any other website, but now they lock you out of content unless you're viewing it through their app so there's really nothing you can do.

Teddit/Libreddit were the best ways to browse Reddit, but the API changes really fucked them over.

i use the app Sink it in conjunction with Safari. It makes browsing reddit a lot easier than using their shitty app.

Scrolled up on several reddit topics with no issue.

What else is the back button meant to do if not take you back? How it works on almost any app I use.

It's possible I've not got the newest update, but hoping it's a bug and not an intended feature.

It really is a shame that they killed off Compact Reddit for mobile. And I don't expect old.reddit to last much longer, either.

I'm still confused on the 'back button' issue.

On any android I've ever used, on most apps it just does as the name says rather than change what app is showing. I've a different button to press for changing apps.

Like, if I it now it'd take me back to the list of topics.

Android generally tracks your input history cross-app. So if you open an app, then open another app, then hit back, it'll take you back to the prior app you opened before. On the Reddit app, it will take you to whatever reddit page you last looked at, even if that was like a week ago.

Where this is a problem is mostly if you do something like open a reddit link from a browser or your email, because normally back would take you back to that browser or email client, but Reddit traps you in the app and makes it basically impossible to return to the prior location.

Just tried that on my android and it closed reddit and took me back to the Google search I used to get there.

Yup. Official reddit app.

Searched something in chrome
Open reddit link
Reddit app opens
Press back button
App closes and brings me back to chrome

Lately whenever I click on a thread that doesn't have a picture or vid, it takes me to a black screen and either stays there or after several minutes of staring into the void it loads. It's irritating.

There's porn on Reddit? Uh, I may have unfairly judged that website, but for the first time I might have to give it a, uh..., good hard look.

You know, for fairness.

LOL I thought it was just me. Scrolling up and going "huh seems I can't reread the text at the top" but thought it was just my app glitching out. Like the app enough otherwise though.

You serious? Cancel your plans for the next week.

It did this to me for a couple days and I then I updated my phone and the problem went away. Didnt even think about the issue when I updated, but yah, maybe update your phone? Or the app.
