How To View Nsfw Content On Reddit App

This wikiHow teaches you how to enable adult and Not Safe for Work (NSFW) on Reddit using a computer, phone, or tablet. Though there's no option to allow NSFW content in the official Reddit mobile app, your preferences from Reddit.com will carry over. Due to Google and Apple Store restrictions, some NSFW may remain unavailable in the mobile app, even after adjusting your settings.^[1]

1
Open a web browser on your phone or tablet. Although there's no way to change your NSFW content preferences in the official Reddit app, you can get the job done in your web browser. Changes you make to your account settings on Reddit.com will carry over to the official mobile app.
- If you use one of the non-official Reddit apps on your phone or tablet, you can likely still use this method to enable NSFW content for that app.

Check the boxes next to the first two "Content options." Both of these options should be selected if you want unrestricted access to NSFW content on your phone or tablet:
- "I am over eighteen years old and willing to view adult content."
- "Include not safe for work (NSFW) search results in searches."
