Finally tried the official Reddit app. It's as bad as they say.

I've tried revanced but I'm not tech savvy enough to figure it out. I can't even find where to download from some of those repositories 😞

It's simple, really.

  • if you have Reddit app installed, uninstall it first
  • download revanced manager and install the apk. https://revanced.app/
  • find Reddit app's apk in apkmirror.com and download it
  • open revanced manager and select Patcher -> "select an application" -> storage and select the downloaded Reddit apk.
  • make sure "disable ads" is in the list of selected patches
  • run the patcher, wait until it completed
  • don't install the resulting apk right away yet. Instead, open the "..." menu on the top right of the screen and backup the patched apk
  • close the revanced manager app and open your file manager. Locate the patched apk you just backed up in the download folder, then install it.

Note that I haven't actually tested this with actual Reddit app.

That's a great tutorial! Will I need to redo this process with every app update?
