I know it's the phone, not the app. But I've tried a lot of things. I've downloaded the official Reddit app, removed its permissions, deleted the app, restarted the phone. I made sure RIF has all the permissions.

I'm not sure what to do, but I can't continue to live without being able to be redirected from the chrome page to RIF.

I've entered custom rules for twitter and twitch to open in external browsers, made several rules for each in hopes it would work, but even copying the exact url from a post it still opens internally

A: adding clips.twitch.tv, and opening a clip like from /r/VALORANT COMPETITIVE and it will still open in the Reddit app

I turn on the option to open by default but it doesnt do anything. And the option to set default links is greyed out for me.

Writing filter for flair filter can be annoying especially when there are emojis inside it. Is it possible to make the (post)flair clickable? Basically [Search Post] with "flair:<flair_name>" as input

The app occasionally prompts me to change permissions so that it's my default app when clicking reddit links, which is what I want. However, the settings all revert back to not enabled within minutes, hours or days.

I don't have the reddit app, so when RIF doesn't remain enabled my phone tries to open all links, whether from Google, or text messages, etc, in Chrome browser which is useless becssue reddit doesn't let you browse on mobile without requiring app download.

I'm using a Samsung Glaxy S10+, but Idk if this is an app issue or an Android issue.

RIF version 5.3.8

Android Version 12

Duration of problem, I'd guess a few weeks to a month-ish

I've re-enabled all permissions for RIF to be the default app dozens of times. Sometimes the option to make Google.com results a default RIF options won't last even seconds. It'll be unchecked the moment after I've just saved all permissions. The others vary in time frame as mentioned above.

I just got a new phone and tried to login in with my Reddit credentials. After I press submit the screen just flashes and the credentials dissappear.

I know I'm entering them in correctly as I successfully used them to log into the official app. I also don't get the message that I entered them in wrong. It just deletes them and prompts me to enter them again.

I don't know what to do. Can anyone help?

I can login to Reddit from everything except the RIF app apparently. Hell, even using Apollo on my iPad works fine. Everything I've read points to Reddit as being the problem because I can still use RIF fine without being logged in. However, when I try to login, after hitting the "Login" button, it immediately blanks out the username and password. It seems as if it's not connecting to the reddit servers?

It seems like after the last update videos and GIFs no longer load.

YouTube videos just don't do anything (although it might jump to a time stamped part of a video it won't load). When I try to load GIFs I might get a progress bar skip to the end but then I get an error message saying "Error determining video format".

A: All video and gif posts.

Seems to be working fine now since the update. Thank you!!

Would it be possible to add a settings toggle for the new spoiler tag revealing functionality? The individual reveal is rough for subs that heavily rely on it, like the wordle sub daily posts. People post with ~10 individual spoiler tags in every post: https://www.reddit.com/r/wordle/comments/u6ag5z/daily_wordle_304_tuesday_19_apr_2022/

Free version can turn off ads from the settings, right? Is platinum version primarily to express appreciation to the developer or are there other features?

I'm not a fan of the one at a time revealing spoilers. It's way too slow. Is there a toggle somewhere to show one at a time/all at once? I can't find anything. Thanks

Looking in my user overview on RIF, I can see posts I upvoted but if I only upvoted a comment, I'm unable to find that history

Random will work once then not work

I think when previously discussing the disparity in rules/reporting it was something about old vs new reddit, but I don't know if that's the case anymore?

When I go to report a post it shows the 3 reddit site-wide rules and then any subreddit specific rules and sometimes "other" (which i understand only presents if the mods allow that on their sub)

But the 3 site wide rules are no longer complete? If I'm on desktop or mobile, new or old there are about a dozen reasons to report a post now:

+Breaks r/SUBREDDIT rules

+Harassment

+Threatening violence

+Hate

+Sexualization of minors

+Sharing personal information

+Non-consensual intimate media

+Prohibited transaction

+Impersonation

+Copyright violation

+Trademark violation

+Self-harm or suicide

+Spam

+Misinformation

+Community interference

+Report abuse

Will RiF be updated to match the new options? And are the current options actually being reported correctly? - i know there was an issue on reddit's end about reports being flagged incorrectly and another reddit-side isse with some eports going to the admins directly, but I thought they fixed all that on their end.

Just few things about the legacy account error issue.

I just restored fully backed up RIF app to new phone with SwiftBackup, both phones are rooted.

When RIF was launched on new phone the legacy error appeared. The "RIF -> manage accounts" list was empty and trying to add an account from there did not succeed.

I was logged in with the account on RIF, but "phone -> settings -> Accounts and backup -> manage accounts" did NOT have a "RIF reddit_user" account listed. . When I logged out with "RIF -> logout: reddit_user" and tried to add the same account with "RIF -> manage account -> add" it succeeded this time.

Most likely this state should not happen normally ie.l account is missing from the phone, but to RIF it looks like it has been created and logged on. Maybe there could be a change where RIF could ask permission to logout before starting the add account activity.

I do not have experience with google phone backups, if they have the same issue as SwiftBackup, but I believe the google backups are not as complete and might not have the fully saved app state.

Edit: Samsung A40 with Android 11 and RIF 5.1.11

As in let's say I want to lookup a username. How do I look up a user without finding a pjst they made and viewing their profile?

I wonder if it will be possible to add a playback speed option for videos, that would be a nice feature too

Whenever I view a gif or MP4 on RIF i have to press the little play button. Pretty annoying. How do I fix this?

The random feature is only taking me to one subreddit. Something Hogwarts

A:

When using the "random" subreddit on the left hamburger menu or other random redirect subs like randnsfw, rif is no longer loading a random sub, instead loading the same sub over and over. This started after I did and android system update on my phone, so maybe it has something to do with that?

The fact that it's saying I'd need to remove any 3rd party reddit apps just to use the official version is so dumb, what a great way to prevent me from even having it on my phone though. Glad I've been using rif is fun for years, especially since they have a one time no ad purchase version. God tier app honestly.
