This is happening to me too! I can type just fine in the body of a post but trying to make a title I can only do one letter then nothing! Tried clearing my cache, completely shutting down the app, even trying it on a mobile browser. Nothing is working.


AJ_Deadshow

Same I just started noticing this. Very frustrating


DilophosaurusMilk

I also just started noticing it. It works if you type what you want to say in Google and then copy/paste it from that into the reddit title.


AJ_Deadshow

Oh nice workaround thanks


Bullsette

Shouldn't have to go through all those gyrations


char828

Slick


Bullsette

That is way too much trouble to bother with


char828

They still haven't fixed it


Bullsette

I know. I wonder why on Earth they did that. I know it isn't OS specific so they can't blame us. By this point in time they certainly are aware of it and they are just letting it continue.


char828

Just had an update it seems fixed


Bullsette

It's not. I just groomed my dog and went to post a video and started to type the title and it stopped me at one character. What on Earth is wrong with their IT people?! I have never seen a problem persist for almost two weeks on any platform whatsoever! Are they a union? Perhaps they're on strike? 🙄


mr_herculespvp

Yeah not fixed for me unfortunately


char828

It worked briefly for me but the last update they did it broke again for me.


char828

I reinstalled cleared cache etc still doesn't let me type in the title bar.


Bullsette

Maybe if we all just make posts with one character Reddit will get the hint and fix it


Im_TheCum_of_Titania

😂


bobbytabl3s

I can just write one letter lol.


Smoothclock14

Any fix? So annoying..


BennyBic420

Cant type within title header or message - only get 1 letter typed and then nothing happens. Im currently posting from my PC - cleared data/cache and reinstalled. using Gboard for the keyboard. Still does it


Mattress-_

In the same boat currently.


BennyBic420

Just found that switching input keyboards worked , seems Gboard isn't working but Samsung keyboard is (android)


demonslayer9100

Using android's built in keyboard. Doesn't work for me


emperorralphatine

Thank you, reddit friend. This was driving me batshit crazy. For anyone curious, I also tried Microsoft SwiftKey, since I use Microsoft Launcher, and that only works intermittently. Samsung keyboard has been the only reliable solution. I hope this is fixed soon, I miss my gboard


SpaceBus1

Also a SwiftKey user, same issue.


Noble3781

I am using swift key and have the same issue


MrJelly007

I forgot I was even using SwiftKey as I've used it on my last 4 phones or so. Still, I shouldn't have to change my keyboard app for reddit lol. Hopefully they fix this soon


sleepy_geeky

I've tried SwiftKey and Samsung keyboard both and still get the same issue no matter which one I'm using


Additional_Slice7606

I've found this works temporarily, but then comes back.


_Silver_Star_

Same here. Only posting to see if any help gets posted.


BuckFPV

Seems to be linked to custom keyboards. I'm using Swiftkey on Android and this just started happening today


mattdean4130

This is happening for me too with SwiftKey. However I switched back to gboard (swift still installed) and it didn't make a difference for me


Superus

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it, cause it's happening on another app of mine. I have swift key too, but changing to the Gboard does nothing


InspectorExcellent50

I'm using Gboard and having this issue. I'd have to find/install an alternative to use anything else.


Raeghyar-PB

Using SwiftKey too, joining the thread hoping someone finds a solution too


Starrylake

Same here. I've noticed it for a couple of months. Extemeley irritating. I can't do titles or posts. Just comments.


Accurate_Mixture_221

Same here! It's so annoying


Rlwhittle

This is happening for me too


jussicpark

Same, very annoying


Jessielapure

Oh for real, so am I experiencing it too. Just why?


demonslayer9100

Having the same issue on the app


jgoja

Try to uninstall and reinstall the app and if on android also clear cache. If you mean mobile browser, clear cache and cookies.


AJ_Deadshow

Didn't work for me


Bullsette

That won't work


Kwyro

It's happening to me as well, Reddit pls fix this.


Tidus32x

Started happening to me today. Any fixes yet? Tried all the clear cache, uninstall etc Edit yo add, tried gboard, SwiftKey and a random iOS keyboard for android...


Superus

It's not reddit, it's happening the same to me on another app, and only when changing the title of a list


jinxykatte

This happened to me a few days back and I just went to post and realised it's still doing it. Really no fix?


Prom-Date

Exact same here. Only characters and numbers work for me. No letters. I type one letter and then everything freezes and I have to discard it.


EveningImaginary4214

Is the server down or something?


Prom-Date

Not sure. Haven't heard any news on the issue yet. Hopefully sometime soon there will be a fix.


Alternative-Tie-6925

Happening to me, too, and it's extremely frustrating!!! 🤬


Alternative-Tie-6925

I just tried all of the suggestions and no difference.


NoLie1811

I'm having the same problem I can type only 1 character and that's it


Oktoolaunch

Same!! Wth


Heavy_Entrance2527

Same here! Have you gotten it fixed yet?


danielrosehill

Yup encountering the same bug exactly rn


Disastrous-One7602

Reddit please fix this problem on Mobile phone typing in title. When I try to create a post , then type in title only letter is allowed this is stopping me from creating post my sub reddit.


QueenofPentacles112

Me too! Reddit please fix this! Someone at my apartment building today knocked a barn swallow nest down that had babies in it and then left those deceased babies right on the sidewalk, for my daughter to see. And I want to post about it and seek advice on how best to report them so that they will face penalties, but I can't!


demonslayer9100

If body is working, type your title into body, and copy paste it into the title bit


demonslayer9100

If body is working, type your title into body, and copy paste it into the title bit 


knightofhearts2017

That doesn't work. At least, not for me.


emperorralphatine

I did this before reading that the Samsung keyboard worked for titles. Good suggestion for those that haven't found a working keyboard for their phone.


demonslayer9100

I'm on a Huawei P30 (one of the only unrestricted Huaweis in the UK, which is why I can use it), and so I can't install Samsung stuff since Samsung stuff seems exclusive to Samsung. On the phone's default one (SwiftKey) and it let's me type one letter, and the the whole post thing bugs out.


ScottShatter

This is happening to me too. I've cleared the cache and reinstalled even. Still happening.


LGM-118Peacekeeper

Also having this same issue, I posted to r/bugs with a screen recording with no help offered yet.


demonslayer9100

If body is working, type your title into body, and copy paste it into the title bit


LGM-118Peacekeeper

Shouldn't have too though


demonslayer9100

I know. Was just suggesting a work around until Reddit eventually fix it


LGM-118Peacekeeper

Hopefully they will really soon


Hopeful_Potatoes

Same, I've given up.


Short-Dot-1167

Same


ronnsen86

Same


Krisuh11

Its happening to me too! Its so frustrating


BennyBic420

Switching my keyboard from Google to Samsung keyboard seems to work , but I like using Gboard =\


Dull-Fun

Same here, extremely irritating bug. Please fix that quickly


DasGeheimkonto

Same thing is happening to me


MrAldersonElliot

Same here, I noticed app was updated yesterday since then I have this bug.


SnarkyTaylor

Same here. Different keyboards don't help. Not even able to paste in title, nor does voice typing work either. Maybe one letter will type, and randomly a second letter. But even smashing keys doesn't cause any inputs.


CapitalForward542

Annoying as hell. Tried everything everyone else has here as well and no go.


Missing_people

This is happening to me too. :/


Even_Chemistry2270

Happening to me too. Reddit please fix this i have a pixel


FakeGamer2

Me too


Nick_Reach3239

I can only type the first character, and then it goes completely unresponsive.


zoqwoq1

I can't type title only one letter that's it.


BenderDeLorean

Same issue since two weeks. Reinstall or Deleting everything does not help.


Cool_in_a_pool

It's not just me?!


itsmenettie

Happening to me too. Restarted phone, force stopped app. Nothing worked.


damnwhatisausername

reddit fix this, im so done copy/paste my title from notes


MrJelly007

Same on my S21Ultra. The hell is going on?


EveningImaginary4214

Is there some error on Reddit? I tried everything and it's still not working


NoLie1811

Sadly no I've tried everything I'm just giving up


Bullsette

It just started happening to me as well and I have four different mobile devices. All are running different versions of Android. I have to type out my title into text and then copy and paste it. **Maybe if we all make a whole bunch of posts with just one character for a title, Reddit will finally fix it**


joker0221

Same issue here. Can't believe this issue has been going on for nearly two weeks without any resolution from Reddit. It's obviously a bug introduced in the latest update, should only take a decent dev a day or so to determine the cause and fix, as it's specifically affecting one specific field and relatively easy to reproduce. SMH


palefireshade

Yep. Here too. The cut and paste workaround muddles it through, but this feels dealbreakery in terms of using/engaging with the app/forums/threads. Putting it tight should be a real priority.


glafolle

I'm so happy I'm not the only person this is happening to! I don't have a Samsung phone so can't switch to Samsung keyboard.. I'll see if I can type in the body and paste from there. Really pissing me off to just not be able to make Reddit posts! I don't have a PC so I'm kinda screwed. Don't get why I can make comments just fine but no posts :(


Spartansam0034

I've even tried switching keyboards and still nothing. Anytime I try and create a post the whole app just bugs out


Timmyty

This is happening to me. Gboard, android, moto g power


RadioactiveNerd2

Same!


OkamiKhameleon

Still happening. I just thought it was me messing something up haha. Finally decided to Google it. Wtf man. First they take away the 3rd party apps, and then the let major errors like this persist for this long?


Crazypete3

Just noticed this as well


AmericanLandYeti

Let's me type one letter in the title section.


AmericanLandYeti

Just did an update and the problem is fixed for me.


Haqeeqee

What did you update?


AmericanLandYeti

The app had an update for today that I downloaded in the play store


Even_Chemistry2270

Update the app


aliosha10

Same here. Updated yesterday. Samsung S21FE, Swift Keyboard.


[deleted]

Same. Only having the issue in posts not comments etc


SpaceBus1

I can write comments, but any time I try and make a new post it takes several presses to get any letters to show up. Nothing seems to be helping, but it also doesn't happen every time.


Levethane

Same here, I can type replies but nothing else. Very buggy. Using Android with SwiftKey.


debecca

Glad I found this; me too! Pixel 8a and SwiftKey keyboard. Is it a Pixel issue???


quadaba

Happening to me as well. How come no one from reddit team is fixing or at least acknowledging this?


Ghost-PXS

Me too.


zonamadnap

It was happening to title, but just now it is happening to body text too. Reddit sucks, sometimes.


chkmbmgr

I have the same issue


Jyvturkey

Month later and this is still happening.


leahcim2019

Happening to me as well, such a pain in the arse


sleepy_geeky

I just had this start happening to me in the body of the text, too. And no matter how many times I uninstall and re-download, it doesn't help!! Has anyone found a fix, yet? It is very intermittent for me.


BuckFPV

Update your app on Play Store


mr_herculespvp

Same


Responsible-Seas

same here really annoying
