1. A New application has been authorized in your Reddit account
[70%]" data-media-id="240"> Email notification is received when Reddit application authorization occurs with your account.
This is the email that pops up when you’ve permitted a new app in your Reddit account by utilizing it to log in to a website or an application.
If you haven’t signed in anywhere with Reddit recently, we suggest refraining from clicking any links in it. On the contrary, if you’re confident that the email is genuine, feel free to follow the links to Reddit to annul app access.
It has been observed that apps for exploring Reddit (Apollo, Relay for Reddit, Delay for Reddit, Reddit is fun, Boost for Reddit, etc.) are frequently reported as approved without the user’s awareness. We can only speculate about the reasons for this, but surely it isn’t the fault of the app or its developers.
2. Dismiss authorized apps on Reddit
Now, let’s discover how to eliminate authorized apps from Reddit.
A mere password alteration won’t suffice, as applications employ access tokens to perform actions from your account. Logging out of the application also does not withdraw Reddit app permissions. Here’s what does:
We timetabled a Reddit post with Social Rise and nullified the application’s access prior to the scheduled post. Below are 3 successful methods that prevented the post from being published.
- Alter your password and disapprove all applications – access settings and adjust your password. Additionally, choose “Log me out everywhere”. Perform this if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
- Disallow all applications without altering the password – visit account activity and fill out the “Log out of all other sessions” form.
- Disallow an individual Reddit application – proceed to apps and hit “revoke access” beneath the app’s title.
You can also halve your posting duration, attain a spot on the trending page, and automate tedious responsibilities. Experience the ease with Social Rise to save time and enhance your viewership. Get started for free in just 1 minute.
2.1. Restore application’s access
If you wish to reinstate permissions to an application, just log in to it using Reddit once more.
3. View all approved applications
To check all applications linked to your Reddit account, navigate to apps (page is found in privacy settings).
Each application reveals its authorizations, description, and creators. Click on an application’s name to visit its website. The applications require the listed authorizations to execute commands as per your directives (they don’t function autonomously). Hover over an authorization to comprehend its purpose.

To view which applications have accessed your account, go to account activity. You can also inspect the timeline of usage along with the locations it was accessed from.
3.1. An application is absent?
If you withdraw an application’s access by performing any of the aforementioned steps, the application will no longer persist in the catalog. If this isn’t the scenario, ensure that the username in the email matches the account you’re utilizing.
4. Unable to annul Reddit on mobile web
While trying to revoke authorized applications on Reddit, you likely encountered Reddit on mobile web (installed).
[70%]" data-media-id="242"> Reddit on mobile web is authorized automatically on all accounts.
This application is incorporated with every account and its permissions cannot be revoked. There’s no need to fret as it’s an inherent feature of Reddit. This is a first-party application with Reddit being its sole developer.
Another instance of such an application is Reddit Ads. This is approved instantly upon visiting Reddit Ads while logged in.
Contrary to its name, Reddit on mobile web is sanctioned automatically, even if you haven’t utilized the mobile website before. We tested creating a new account on a desktop and the application was present.
For any inquiries concerning the mobile application, browse r/redditmobile.
