This wikiHow teaches you how to upvote and downvote posts and comments on Reddit, using an iPhone or iPad. Upvoting a post will bump it up to the top of the subreddit, whereas downvotes will move it to the bottom.

Steps

  1. The Reddit app looks like a white alien icon on an orange button. You can find it on your home screen or in a folder.
  2. Tap the account icon in the upper-left corner of your screen to open the account panel, and check if you're logged in.
    • You have to be logged in to vote on posts and comments.
    • If you're not logged in, tap the Home tab at the top, and tap LOG IN .

  3. You can find these buttons in the lower-left corner of every post.
    • The up arrow will upvote the selected post, and push it up on its subreddit's home page.
    • The down arrow will downvote the post. Posts with more downvotes will move to the bottom of their subreddits.
  4. This button looks like a tiny speech bubble icon next to the upvote and downvote arrows at the bottom of every post. It will open a list of all the comments posted to this thread.
  5. You can find these buttons in the lower-right corner of every comment. They will allow you to upvote and downvote comments just like posts.
    • Comments with the most upvotes and least downvotes will show up at the top of the best comments thread below the post.
