Engineers Working to Address Root Cause of the Outage

Reddit has confirmed that its engineers are working to address the root cause of the outage, which is primarily affecting iOS devices. The company has identified the problem and is currently working to rectify it.

Tens of thousands of Reddit users have reported experiencing app and server connection issues in the last hour, according to outage monitoring platform Downdetector.com.

History of Previous Outages

This is not the first time Reddit has experienced an outage. On March 14, the social network was hit by another massive outage that prevented users worldwide from accessing the platform’s website and mobile apps.

One month earlier, a partial outage caused a severely degraded search experience and stale subreddit feeds for desktop users.

On February 15, a major outage blocked access to the home feed, preventing comments, awards, and karma from displaying or processing correctly for approximately 30 minutes.
