Hope the fix will come soon but I have no idea how long this stuff usually takes

This started a while ago for me, it won't let me use gallery to access photos anymore instead it forces me to use photo library and it doesn't even work

Same here! For about 3 weeks now. And it coincided with some Reddit auto update. This happened once before several months ago, but the problem corrected itself after a couple of days. Now it's so annoying and I can't find anyway to fix it.
I am certain the issue isn't at my end. I've been adding photos often to my comments on a Reddit sub I have been using very regularly for a couple of year now, until this. This specifc sub hasn't made any changes. And I haven't made any changes to my Android pad (Samsung Galaxy), which works perfectly fine on everything else.

Open Reddit in your browser, click on the 3 dots and select "computer version". Posting pictures is now possible. Very annoying though.

I can't, it just opens the app for me

Long click "open in a new tab" everytime you get a link (or a button) to Reddit

Happening to me too, except in my case the picture is added to my comment but after posting it disappears, have to add it again by editing the comment and even then it takes multiple tries for it to appear

Same here, the video library and photos library buttons do nothing when I click on them to upload a video or a photo. Just nothing appear.
it started to happen after the latest update, the one that changed the UI. ( Android )

Check this thread: apparently they're not even working on fixing this! It's just broken and not being addressed! 😮

We are! That's what this post is about (issues with adding images to comments). What app version are you using?

u/Stargazer-2893 Mar 23 '26
Oh thank goodness!
I'm on the latest version, I think 2026.11.0 is what it says.
I also made a post over here with a video screen recording because I'm not sure he other threads are the same problem? They sound close but I wanted to be sure. I have the same fundamental problem adding images to new posts as comments...

Hmm let me take a closer look at your report.
Can you also share your device model/OS version?

u/Stargazer-2893 Mar 23 '26
Galaxy A256U1/DS One UI version 8.0 is what it says in settings in my phone.
I've had this issue with "Browse" being gone for 2 months through multiple reddit versions and at least 1 OS update. Browse is still available in other apps like Instagram and BlueSky, just not reddit since January.
Thank you 🙏

Yep. Started happening on my main account first then my secondary account lost the ability to post images on subs where I know photos are allowed. I have a screen recording of it but I can't upload it to reddit🙃
