What's New in Narwhal for Reddit

2026.6.1

July 7, 2026

Moderator Tools are here! We've spent an enormous amount of time building the first version of Mod Tools for Narwhal, and this is just the beginning. We wanted to get this initial version out to you so we can start gathering feedback and continue making it better. Not a mod? We also added the highly requested Share Comment as Image feature and cleaned up a lot of bugs and rough edges. We have a lot of cool features planned for the next couple of updates, so stay tuned :D New: - Share Comment as Image - Generate an image of a comment thread to share with your friends. Choose how many parent comments you would like to show and whether you would like post details included. - Mod Mail - Sort and filter through your inbox. Respond in a conversation view as either yourself or the subreddit. Post internal notes for your fellow moderators, and much more! - Mod Queue - Review your mod queue across all subreddits you moderate, or filter by a specific subreddit. Review reports and take action on posts/comments: Approve, Remove, Mark Spam, or Ignore Reports. - Inline Mod Actions - Take actions on content in subreddits you moderate. In the various Narwhal context menus, you will find options to: Approve, Remove, Mark Spam, Ignore/Unignore Reports, Lock/Unlock, Ban a User, Distinguish posts/comments, Sticky/Unsticky, Mark/Unmark NSFW, Mark/Unmark Spoiler, Set Link Flair, and View Approval Info. - There is a new "Mod Tools" option in the side menu to access Mod Mail and the Mod Queue. If you would prefer to hide these, there is a new setting in Settings > Side Menu Customization. - In Settings > Action Bar & Navigation Editor, there are two new options to add Mod Mail or Mod Queue to your bars. - Posts will now indicate if their author has been distinguished as a moderator. - Comments will now show a lock icon if a moderator has locked them. Improved: - All post types now support submitting body text alongside them. This means you can submit images, albums, and links with body text as well! - Multireddits will now always be sorted alphabetically in the side menu. Fixed: - Fixed an issue with certain links not loading. This happened often with Wikipedia links. - Fixed an issue with certain comment links not displaying correctly. One example of this is chess.com bot comments. - Fixed an issue with Reddit video player links in comments not working. - The album content type icon no longer hides on white images. - Fixed an issue with YouTube videos not loading in the native iOS video player. - Fixed a crash that could occur when tapping to go forward too quickly. - The "Open in Narwhal" icon in the iOS share sheet now displays correctly. - Post titles are no longer cut off in a rare layout case. - The Mark Read / Hide Read buttons above posts now use the correct theme colors. Please come visit /r/narwhalapp and post any feedback or feature requests you may have!

The BEST way to access Reddit

I’ve been using Narwhal for just about as long as it’s been available. It’s always been a superior Reddit interface. It’s highly customizable and NO ads. The Reddit app is unusable now because of how locked down it is. They spoon feed you everything and so many ads! None of that here. Because Reddit charges for API calls, you have to pay a subscription but it is 100% the most worthwhile subscription I pay for. The dev team is responsive and truly wants to make the best user experience possible. Not only is it a great way to access Reddit but is also truly one of the best designed independent iOS apps.

The only way to Reddit

The utility of Narwhal's editing tools paired with it's browsing capabilities streamline all engagements on Reddit.

I really wanted to like this app

I really appreciate that they have a free trial, and the app looks cool overall. But I tried for 20 minutes to get it set up, and just found the settings to be really confusing and tedious. The comment sections under posts ended up just looking like walls of texts so I was trying to figure out how to show people’s avatars. I also found it difficult to find my notifications. So just decided to give up on this app, but I really wanted to like it.

Wanted to love it

Card -> condense is apparently no longer a thing. Can’t hang with this density. Spent 30 min looking at options. Am I missing something?

Stop. Muting. Audio.

Every time I open the app, it pauses my music. This is so irritating and it’s been a bug for longer than I can remember.
