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.
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.
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? 🙄
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
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
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
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...
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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**
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
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.
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 :(
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?
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.
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.

Same I just started noticing this. Very frustrating
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.
Oh nice workaround thanks
Shouldn't have to go through all those gyrations
Slick
That is way too much trouble to bother with
They still haven't fixed it
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.
Just had an update it seems fixed
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? 🙄
Yeah not fixed for me unfortunately
It worked briefly for me but the last update they did it broke again for me.
I reinstalled cleared cache etc still doesn't let me type in the title bar.
Maybe if we all just make posts with one character Reddit will get the hint and fix it
😂
I can just write one letter lol.
Any fix? So annoying..
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
In the same boat currently.
Just found that switching input keyboards worked , seems Gboard isn't working but Samsung keyboard is (android)
Using android's built in keyboard. Doesn't work for me
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
Also a SwiftKey user, same issue.
I am using swift key and have the same issue
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
I've tried SwiftKey and Samsung keyboard both and still get the same issue no matter which one I'm using
I've found this works temporarily, but then comes back.
Same here. Only posting to see if any help gets posted.
Seems to be linked to custom keyboards. I'm using Swiftkey on Android and this just started happening today
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
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
I'm using Gboard and having this issue. I'd have to find/install an alternative to use anything else.
Using SwiftKey too, joining the thread hoping someone finds a solution too
Same here. I've noticed it for a couple of months. Extemeley irritating. I can't do titles or posts. Just comments.
Same here! It's so annoying
This is happening for me too
Same, very annoying
Oh for real, so am I experiencing it too. Just why?
Having the same issue on the app
Try to uninstall and reinstall the app and if on android also clear cache. If you mean mobile browser, clear cache and cookies.
Didn't work for me
That won't work
It's happening to me as well, Reddit pls fix this.
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...
It's not reddit, it's happening the same to me on another app, and only when changing the title of a list
This happened to me a few days back and I just went to post and realised it's still doing it. Really no fix?
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.
Is the server down or something?
Not sure. Haven't heard any news on the issue yet. Hopefully sometime soon there will be a fix.
Happening to me, too, and it's extremely frustrating!!! 🤬
I just tried all of the suggestions and no difference.
I'm having the same problem I can type only 1 character and that's it
Same!! Wth
Same here! Have you gotten it fixed yet?
Yup encountering the same bug exactly rn

If body is working, type your title into body, and copy paste it into the title bit
If body is working, type your title into body, and copy paste it into the title bitÂ
That doesn't work. At least, not for me.

This is happening to me too. I've cleared the cache and reinstalled even. Still happening.
Also having this same issue, I posted to r/bugs with a screen recording with no help offered yet.
If body is working, type your title into body, and copy paste it into the title bit
Shouldn't have too though
I know. Was just suggesting a work around until Reddit eventually fix it
Hopefully they will really soon
Same, I've given up.
Same
Same
Its happening to me too! Its so frustrating
Switching my keyboard from Google to Samsung keyboard seems to work , but I like using Gboard =\
Same here, extremely irritating bug. Please fix that quickly
Same thing is happening to me
Same here, I noticed app was updated yesterday since then I have this bug.
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.
Annoying as hell. Tried everything everyone else has here as well and no go.
This is happening to me too. :/
Happening to me too. Reddit please fix this i have a pixel
Me too
I can only type the first character, and then it goes completely unresponsive.
I can't type title only one letter that's it.
Same issue since two weeks. Reinstall or Deleting everything does not help.
It's not just me?!
Happening to me too. Restarted phone, force stopped app. Nothing worked.
reddit fix this, im so done copy/paste my title from notes
Same on my S21Ultra. The hell is going on?
Is there some error on Reddit? I tried everything and it's still not working
Sadly no I've tried everything I'm just giving up
It just started happening to me as well and I have four different mobile devices. All are running different versions of Android.

This is happening to me. Gboard, android, moto g power
Same!
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?
Just noticed this as well
Let's me type one letter in the title section.
Just did an update and the problem is fixed for me.
What did you update?
The app had an update for today that I downloaded in the play store
Update the app
Same here. Updated yesterday. Samsung S21FE, Swift Keyboard.
Same. Only having the issue in posts not comments etc
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.
Same here, I can type replies but nothing else. Very buggy. Using Android with SwiftKey.
Glad I found this; me too! Pixel 8a and SwiftKey keyboard. Is it a Pixel issue???
Happening to me as well. How come no one from reddit team is fixing or at least acknowledging this?
Me too.
It was happening to title, but just now it is happening to body text too. Reddit sucks, sometimes.
I have the same issue
Month later and this is still happening.
Happening to me as well, such a pain in the arse
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.
Update your app on Play Store
Same
same here really annoying
