Reddit announced multiple improvements to their Android and iOS app, especially when it comes to search. Now the app has a separate media search tab. Earlier, if you wanted to search for a media, you will have to go through multiple conversations, then click on the link. It was not the easiest of processes. But now you can simply search for a video, an image or a GIF by going to the media search tab. This also works for subreddits, which is great. They’ve also improved the user experience overall for search by making the look and feel cleaner. They’ve added accessibility features by adding labels and roles and values to all the elements. And the announcement says they’ve made everything faster and easier. So check it out. Let us know if it’s really faster and easier
