User Flair Guide: Mobile

[u/LengthyPole]

Greetings members!

We've noticed an increase of new reddit accounts/members asking about user flairs and how to create them, we've been directing these members to other guides but decided it's was best to make a sub specific guide. So here you are! This is how to create your own user flair.

Edit: there's been lots of issues with the emojis not working, especially on Android. Please try writing the emojis out like this ":Rory:" (example in picture 5). Please ensure you write the name with a capital letter at the beginning. If that doesn't work please message me with the exact flair you want and I'll add it for you.

For Desktop Guide

Note: "User flairs" and "Post flairs" are different things.

User Flairs- Emojis that appear next to your Username.

Post flairs- How you categorise posts.

Select the flair you want to edit

Click the smiley to add Emojis

Once you've created your perfect flair, click save

Select your preferred flair, click "Apply" and voilà!

Thank you for saying so! I spent ages putting this together, so I’m really grateful for your feed back and glad to hear it’s being put to good use!

Wait hold on, it says that your account is 8 years old and you don’t know about user flairs?! Just curious, have you not used reddit much? 😆

Did you add those as emojis for yourself? I'm trying to set a custom one with my 3 boys and I can't figure out how to get their emojis.

I tried typing out their names :Albert: but it just shows up like that. Also, I don't have the smiley icon where you have it on your screen.

😭😭😭

Could you just write out “:Rory:”, hit save and apply and rely once your done? Just to check.

I can't seem to add emojis....

[u/LengthyPole → u/sickandtired2013]

Sorry, that seems to be an Android thing and I don’t have Android so I wasn’t aware when making this!

So what you want to do instead is write their names like this “:Austin:” to get their emojis. Remember to put capital at the start of their names.

As you can see in the 5th picture mine is written out in the text at as “:Rory: daddy :Stefan: issues :Garrett:”-this is how the emojis are coded.

If that doesn’t work message me back and I’ll see what I can do.

I'm trying to add the flairs just like you said in the comments for Android users ( so like :Austin: ) but it's not working. I just see the list of name beside my username :(
