What's New in Protego for Reddit

3.5.3

July 29, 2026

Protego 3.5.3 colors your comment threads and adds a batch of smaller comforts across the app. Long conversations are hard to follow when every reply line looks the same. Thread Colors gives each reply depth its own color, on new and old Reddit alike, with four themes to choose from. Old Reddit fans can have image posts expand on their own while they scroll, and short keywords like AI can finally be filters. No account, no tracking, and your lists stay in your own iCloud. WHAT'S NEW: - Thread Colors: give each comment reply depth its own color, so you always know which reply belongs where. Four themes: Default, Rainbow, wobniaR, and Vibecoded, each previewed with its palette before you choose. Works on new and old Reddit; find it in Transform, under Comment Threads. - Auto-expand images: old Reddit image and gallery posts open inline as you scroll, exactly as if you had tapped each expand button. A post you collapse stays collapsed. Find it in Transform, under Feed and Layout. - Two-letter keywords: AI, VR, and other short terms can now be filters. A short keyword with a wildcard, like ai*, also matches longer words, so Protego states the trade-off and asks before adding it. - Crosspost button: a new switch hides Reddit's crosspost control on posts, on both Reddit designs. - Achievement updates: a new switch stops the achievement pill that slides in after you share or comment. Unlike Reddit's own setting, it applies across your devices and survives clearing website data. IMPROVEMENTS: - Keyword groups can be selected right in the list's Select mode: bulk-delete a mixed selection and choose whether the group's keywords go with it, or ungroup with a swipe. - Updating Protego no longer moves you off your chosen preset when an update adds new settings to it. FIXES: - Hiding post thumbnails also hid a card-view post's own photo or video on new Reddit: your media stays visible now, and only the link thumbnail goes.

Reddit page no scrolling

Had high hopes for this app as it states working without no login. But that is unfortunately not the case as this app can not remove or disable the Reddit upselling by requesting to use the official app on iOS and locking the page scrolling. In that sense I think what this app claims is false advertising.

Great app for filtering Reddit and very responsive developer

The app does what it does very well and the dev is very responsive and open to feature requests. Strong recommendation.

Makes reading easier

Works well and hides a bunch of clutter. The recent update added a lot of new features like hiding gif-only comments that used to take up a whole page, now neatly collapsed. The keyword filter is great for getting rid of trump everything everywhere. Honestly I wouldn't be able to use reddit without it.
