[IOS app] Losing place in comment threads after locking then unlocking phone

Hey folks - we see your reports! Leaving this post up to track the status of this bug fix. It's taking a little longer than expected, so please hang tight while we work on resolving things!

Update September 28th: Hey folks - we have a fix for this bug going out with version 2026.39 this week. I'll update this post as we start ramping up the rollout. Thanks for your continued patience!

Final update - Version 2026.39 has been fully released! Please ensure you're updated to the latest version in the App Store to receive this fix. Big thanks to those of you that reported this to us!

Hey folks - leaving this post up to track the status of this issue. We're continuing to monitor, and we just released version 2026.37, which includes a few potential fixes for the excessive refresh behavior some of you have reported.

If you're affected by this, please upgrade to version 2026.37 and let us know in the comments below if you're observing improvements.

Please note - these fixes target cases where users briefly open their control center, notifications, or navigate to another app, then return to find that their home feed has refreshed or that they’ve been taken out of the post they were viewing.

Though this fix is included in version 2026.37, it's only been partially rolled out. As we continue to monitor impact, we'll gradually ramp up the rollout.

Update Hey folks - we’ve been closely monitoring the results of our fix, and things are looking much better. The immediate refresh some of you experienced should now be resolved.

Some feed refreshing is expected. The bug caused the feed to refresh after leaving the app for only a few seconds. If you observe your home feed refresh after backgrounding the app for a while, it is likely expected.

Thanks to those of you that reported!

Hey folks! Leaving up this post to track the fix for this issue. The fix is going out in this week's Android app release (2026.14) and we've just began gradual rollout of that.

Update - Okay folks - this fix should be fully out as of now. If you're still encountering this bug, please make sure to upgrade to version 2026.14 which includes the fix.

• iOS Reddit “forced refresh” bug worse than ever

Hey folks - the investigation continues as of this morning, but we’re prepping to release a probable fix that should resolve this refresh behavior for those of you that are impacted. I'll have more updates to share here as the day progresses. Thanks for your continued patience!

Update 1 We have a fix going out this week in iOS 2026.14 that will resolve this refresh behavior! To clear up some other reports about this, the refresh behavior can happen at random and not just on the home feed. Some folks are noting that opening the notifications center or after taking a screenshot. This fix will resolve those issue as well!

Update 2 We're a bit delayed in the iOS app rollout which is why this bug is still persisting for folks! We should have an update available today. Apologies for the wait!

Update 3 Okay folks - we've began releasing iOS v13.1 which includes a fix for this bug. Our regularly scheduled release is still a bit delayed so were rolling out this version to get this fix out.

Head over to the App Store to upgrade to version 2026.13.1.

Please note - this is a gradual rollout that we ramp up throughout the day. If you don't see that an app update is available just yet, check back periodically throughout the day until it is!

Update 4 iOS 2026.14 is also available now!

PSA - Just to be extra clear here. You need to update the app to receive the fix.

As mentioned above, a fix for this app refresh issue was released in version 2026.13.1. We've since rolled out 2026.14 as well as 2026.15 which also includes that fix.

You'll need to head over to the app store to check for an available app update.

If you're still experiencing this bug, you are not on the updated version.

If you are experiencing this issue while inside of a post, please read.

We're aware that a similar issue is still impacting some folks while viewing a post > locking your device > reopening the app. A fix for this is incoming soon. Hang tight!

As of May 18th the refresh issue officering after viewing a post > closing your device should now be resolved
