It may be part of your government's initiative to crack down on pornography being able to be accessed by young users. Reddit has probably adhered to the request and anonymous browsing has been disabled. Alongside any NSFW content. Answer from Galxazia on reddit.com

r/help on Reddit: Anonymous Browsing not working
May 5, 2023 -

As the title suggests, when I try to move from my main acc to anonymous browsing, I get a very brief losing sign and then the screen is just black. No error message or anything, just pure black screen. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app, clearing the cache, and restarting my phone, but none of these have worked. Any suggestions?

My (unfounded) suspicion is that there was a recent update that broke anon. browsing but idk, it’s just pure speculation.

November 20, 2025 - if your on phone, hit your avatar top right then under your avatar pic is your name with a down arrow. tap that and you can choose anonymous browsing from there ... I know that but it's gone. ... I suspect reddit is rolling out “new features” in A - B testing.

what the title says— when i click the account dropdown, all i get is the option to log out, no option to switch to anon browsing. i tried logging out/logging back in, toggling reddit settings in the ios settings app, and just now i updated to the newest version and still no anon browsing option. seems like other people are also experiencing this somewhat randomly. any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! :)

edit: just wanted to add that when this issue occurs, powering my phone off and on again usually fixes this temporarily for me!

r/help on Reddit: What happened to anonymous browsing?

I remember there used to be an option on the mobile app to browse Reddit anonymously without being logged in. But when I checked now, the option is no longer there. I wonder what happened to anonymous browsing on Reddit and why they killed this feature from the app?

January 7, 2023 -

As stated in the title above, there are some problems with anonymous browsing on the Reddit app right now. If I try to activate it, the app just shows a grey screen indefinitely until I force close the app and open it again. I tried signing in and out, reinstalling the app, clearing the app cache and data, and rebooting my device, but it has not solved the problem.

r/help on Reddit: Why cant I find Private Browsing Option on Windows Desktop Reddit App?
August 17, 2023 -

Does it not exist (though I thought it did) My ios has no problems.

I have a screenshot but guess I cannot post it?

So to be clear:

  1. I go to pulldown and hit "profile"

  2. There is no arrow/pull down menu/anything on my profile like on ios app (yes I know how to do it normally)

  3. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app

  4. it is the official reddit version

I recall there being a private browsing mode for the reddit app, but it seems to be removed on my interface.....? Did they remove it or rename it to another tool?
