Reddit releases Android beta app; iOS to follow soon
Having an official Reddit app may make any transitions much smoother.
The app appears to bring the whole suite of Reddit functionality to your Android device, including customizing your personal front page, navigating through various subreddits, even editing subreddits that you have admin access to. Sure, there are apps available in the Google Play Store that will give you a mobile Reddit experience, but you have to believe that the official app will be the best.
The company outlined a range of other content restrictions for its users previous year too, something that re-emphasized statements made by Huffman and his team about their commitment to freedom of expression, with some caveats.
There was no evidence as to when the Reddit Android App is useful to make an official debut for the masses, but until then finally, I think, users who would not volunteer to just have to test it to settle for the slew of third Party Reddit blog.
Reddit is now inviting users into the closed beta for its Android app, but the beta is limited to a couple of thousand people. The executive pointed out in a Reddit post that mobile is a priority for the site.
As of this moment there has been no announcement on when the app will be released for the public at large. “We appreciate your patience while we modernize Reddit”.
In the post, titled “Reddit in 2016”, Huffman took the opportunity to highlight some of his plans for the company this year, which had an insanely eventful 2015, to say the least.
Spam and abuse threaten Reddit’s communities. “My dear friend, first Reddit employee, and smartest guy on the planet, u/KeyserSosa, is hard at work on the problem”.
In addition to discussing some new upcoming initiatives, it was also revealed that Reddit is getting into the mobile arena.
