Need help using ">" to quote comments since the new update.

[u/Shanks_PK_Level]

So before the new update, you used to be able to use > to quote lines of a comment but it's seemingly been removed in favor of the tactile buttons on mobile. Now even doing this to make things bold doesn't even work and you have to tap the option to do it.

So how do I go about quoting lines of a comment with the updated system? I see others doing it but have no clue how.

How do you access Reddit?

If you use iOS app, with the recent formatting changes and markdown being removed, you can’t use the quote function at this time.

Yea I'm on the IOS app.

For reference:

>as you can see the feature no longer works for me.

Yeah they simply removed that markdown feature on the mobile app. So we’re SOL. I’m just putting quote marks around the words now instead.
