i just want to view the pics in the slideshow without having to necessarily open the post. please.

I’ve tried to remove a “friend” from the “/r/friends” feed but it won’t work. I’m definitely not got them listed as friend, that is, the option to “friend” them is available. They have a subreddit but I’m not subscribed to it , and they’re not in any of my multi-reddits, and they’re not being “followed” either. What’s going on with this?

Seems to be since the most recent update, I cannot get videos to go into landscape mode anymore.

Confirmed rotation lock on my phone is off and haven’t messed with any app settings.

This would be a simple 1x1 app icon shortcut (with the narwhal logo) that I could place on my lockscreen that opens Narwal directly. I currently have a few other app shortcuts but for Narwhal I have to use the generic Shortcuts icon to open Narwhal. I know this is such a minor thing to ask for so I get it if it’s too much to ask for haha. Also thank you to the dev so much for this app, have been using 2.0 since day 1 release and have been paying the premium since then. Don’t know what I’d do without it.

How do you turn this off? You can turn it off on each individual video, but the next one that you open the subtitles are back on. I can’t find a setting about it.

Is there a way to have the OP’s comment highlighted when they respond to their own posts? Rather than the small icon that says “OP”

So I attempted to enable 2FA on Reddit through desktop and all was fine but it broke Reddit through Narwhal app

This seems like an oversight, can I enable it and have the app work?

Which settings are required to be able to swipe through the images in a post’s pallets while in a feed? Currently I have to tap, enter the post, then swipe. That’s a big functionality miss from the regular app so I figure it is some setting I’m just missing. Thanks!

Went for yearly. Restore doesnt work, but if try to subscribe again, it gets past the window, but it pops again later. Payment was processed OK.

Not sure if it’s just me, but the app has been crashing regularly on me since I installed 26.6 beta 4. Beta 5 just came out so will see if it persists.

Anyone else?

For the past few weeks I’ve been seeing posts go missing from New and Hot on r/wetshaving. Not deleted, not removed, just absent from the sorted feeds. If I search for the same post in the app it’s right there, and it’s fine on the web too. So the posts exist, they’re just not making it into the listings.

The clearest example is the AutoModerator daily threads. r/wetshaving runs several of them, and on some days one or more just won’t show under New or Hot, even after a pull-to-refresh. Search finds it, web shows it posted at the usual time, but the feed acts like it isn’t there.

It’s intermittent, not every day, and it’s happened enough times over the last few weeks that it’s clearly a pattern and not a one-off.

For what it’s worth, a few other people have told me they’re seeing the same thing on other subreddits, so it may not be limited to r/wetshaving.

I’m happy to answer any questions and provide additional information.

Can we make it to where we can scroll full screen through the media in the communities we are in or make landscape orientation actually fit the full screen?

Narhwal lets me enjoy browsing Reddit and I rely heavily on Subreddit filters. Generally I will filter at least a handful every time I open the app to browse (which is too often lol). But lately when I click "Add /r/*** filter" nothing happens. Is there a cap on how many subreddits can be filtered? If so, is there any way to raise it? Also, is there a way to export my filter list? I would love to have a backup, and potentially reuse the list elsewhere.

~~I can’t get strikethrough text to work properly ~~ in the app. I shows the formatting, but doesn’t actually strike through!

I can use the same symbols on Reddit via safari and they work, so it does appear to be a Narwhall specific issue. I sent a screenshot/feedback but I wanted to give extra info.

I’m on the latest version of iOS & the beta, iPhone 16.

This is a small update to fix the following issues:

• Freezing/lag when using hide read above
• Lag when swiping on comments

Full release notes for 2026.6 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/narwhalapp/comments/1ulteut/20266_is_in_the_app_store_mod_tools_share_comment/

Recently I've seen new AI generated captions on videos in the app. I can't find a setting to turn them off.

It’s present on the iPhone but absent from the iPad. It would be a really helpful way for Magic Keyboard users to be able to quickly interact with comments since swipe gestures are more difficult. Thanks!!

But opening in browser/YouTube loads a perfectly fine video: https://i.imgur.com/GRaI5DX.jpeg

I wish I could provide more info but I’ve noticed since the new update that when I manually mark posts as read the app slows down considerably and eventually freezes. Freezing usually occurs the longer I’ve scrolled. I have to reopen the app to resolve the issue.

I have two related bugs that are affecting the enjoyment of the app. These have been happening since the can’t hide posts in the feed bug was fixed.

1. I swipe to hide a lot of posts. When I load more posts, a lot of the hidden posts reappear
2. Sometimes I try to rehide these posts. It usually works, but occasionally they will stay in the feed and cannot be hidden. This resolves by refreshing the feed by swiping down.

These bugs don’t break the app, but do diminish enjoyment since the feed feels stale with the same posts appearing every time I load more.

I don’t know if this is the API or the app, but it started happening today I think.

After years of not seeing thumbnails they're all of a sudden showing up and no settings will disable them. Don't want to see half naked pics on r/all from whatever random <celebName> subreddit manipulates naked images to the t200 posts. Please update ASAP.

Edited to add: also thanks for all your hard work on this. Apologies if this came off short. Y'all are absolute heroes for dealing with reddit and its users. The QOL updates are always legit and appreciated. Happy to connect if you need screenshots or anything else.

Edited again: I was able to return to my normal settings by selecting default and then updating all of the options again.

I love the custom post filters. Is it planned to add hiding posts by flair?

For example I have a multi Reddit set up for gaming. Some of those subs are for steam giveaway contests. I would like to filter out posts that are flaired “closed”
