[iOS][android] New post title requirement and a couple other helpful tips

Hello r/redditmobile community! We are proud of the progress of the official Reddit mobile client that we all love and support. A lot of the ideas implemented wouldn't exist today without all of your help.

Post title requirement

In an effort to consistently provide complete feedback to the dev team, we are introducing a new rule requiring that post titles must include your [platform] and [app version number] in the title. These must be in [brackets].

This is the app version number located at the bottom of the settings page. Note that only the highlighted numbers above are necessary but you can include the full version number if you would like.

Here's how to access the app's settings page

This new requirement will help keep the subreddit organized, help the developers better track of issues/requests for each platform, eliminate unnecessary comments asking which platform and app version you're using, and keep off-topic posts to a minimum.

Any post that fails to comply with this new rule will be removed by the automoderator and linked to this post so the user can understand the rule.

Examples of posts that will work:

• [iOS][4.17.0] title text here
• [android][3.10.0] title text here

Examples of posts that will not work:

• (iOS)(4.17.0) title text here
• android 3.10.0 title text here

Tips on effective bug reporting

Here is a previous post regarding helpful and effective bug reporting

If you have searched and found a bug that hasn't been reported before, it's always helpful to upload a screenshot or screen-recording. Reddit allows hosting images, gifs, and videos in-app but you can also use third party hosting sites like imgur, streamja, gfycat, etc.

Also, if you reference a specific post, please try to include a link to that respective post as well.

User flairs

Great news! We have added Apple and android emojis into the user flair selection. As a friendly reminder, iOS users can now set their user flair within the app. Android users will still need to use the desktop site for the time being to set their user flair.

Access the overflow menu (3 dot icon) in the top right of the subreddit and select 'change user flair'.

TL;DR:

• Include [iOS] or [android] as well as [app version] in your post title
• Please make effort to ensure that you follow effective bug reporting etiquette
• We added some new user flairs for you to show off. Come check them out!
