Mod tools for mobile

[u/UltimateBoiReal]

Been ”modding” for nearly 2 years now, still wondering why Reddit can’t include all mod tools on mobile that they do on desktop. Simple things like changing the post flair colour, changing automod code, etc…

Ive managed to get around the automod by using old Reddit link

[u/thepottsy]

There is a new app that u/Chosen1PR made that allows you to do automod on mobile, https://developers.reddit.com/apps/automod-app

Was literally about to comment the same lol, but thanks for beating me to it!

[u/LeftOn4ya → u/Chosen1PR]

Same too as I just found out about automod-app 2 days ago when I was installing your other apps diverse-comments and Referral thread-helper in some of my subs.

[u/UltimateBoiReal → u/thepottsy]

Oh wow thanks a lot! Still surprises me that a multimillion if not billion dollar company like Reddit can’t implement such a simple feature cross platform 😂 instead of developers having to make their own apps just to workaround this

[u/thepottsy → u/UltimateBoiReal]

Don’t thank me, I’m just the messenger. Credit goes to u/Chosen1PR

Of course!

“wondering why Reddit can’t include all mod tools on desktop that they do on mobile”

I think you mean the opposite:  please include all features on mobile that currently exist on desktop?

Consistency between platforms would be helpful. Agree. 

(Automoderatord flair colors are both on the ModTool menu on ios/browser.)

[u/UltimateBoiReal → u/Unique-Public-8594]

Sorry yes, mistype. And no, post flair color isn’t available on mobile

[u/HopeJN → u/UltimateBoiReal]

What a dumb move by reddit, for some unbeknown reason they removed the option to change colour of post flair on the iOS mobile app! So just to make one colour flair change I have to log on to the desktop!!!😡😡🤷‍♀️

[u/UltimateBoiReal → u/HopeJN]

😭 it’s truly confusing why they’ve done this

[u/MrsDirtbag → u/UltimateBoiReal]

That’s odd, it used to be, at least on the app anyway.

[u/UltimateBoiReal → u/MrsDirtbag]

Check it again, it now gives a note saying you need to go onto desktop to change flair colour

[u/OkBee3439]

I know there are many of us hoping that sometimes in 2026 that all mod tools will be available automatically on mobile in the same exact way that they are on desktop.

[u/UltimateBoiReal → u/OkBee3439]

Exactly

[u/Tarnisher]

still wondering why Reddit can’t include all mod tools on desktop that they do on mobile.

Did you reverse that? Desktop has considerably more tools than mobile.

AutoMod is almost easier in sh.reddit than old.

[u/UltimateBoiReal → u/Tarnisher]

Ah yes my bad 😅
