• Reddit has announced new features that will make it easier for users to share posts on other social media platforms.
• This includes an updated shared link preview available on both the iOS and Android version of the Reddit app.
• Other features include direct sharing to Instagram, a share sheet for most used channels, and one-tap screenshot sharing.

Sharing is caring, which is why Reddit has announced a new set of features that will make sharing content and posts to other social media platforms a lot easier, which is something that the front page of the internet has admitted to not doing a good job on in the past.

“Previously, when a person came across a post, conversation, or meme on Reddit that was so incredible and impossible not to share, we didn’t make it easy to send it to others. If we’re being honest, the features were outdated, and it took multiple steps to share anything from Reddit. But that’s changing – in line with our work to make Reddit easier to use, redditors can now quickly and easily share Reddit content they love on other social platforms without compromising their Reddit identity,” the platform explained in a blog post.

It added that for the native apps on both iOS and Android, the new sharing features include the ability to see a visual preview of the content, the subreddit name, and total upvotes and comments, via an updated shared link preview.

Other new features include the ability to share content directly from Reddit to Instagram Stories without having to first screenshot or download content. There’s also something called a share sheet, whihc allows users to share their, “most used sharing channels which appears when the user click on the share icon under a post, making it easier to publish without having to leave Reddit.”

Lastly among the new features is a one-tap screenshot-sharing experience that, “allows users to share content without saving images to their device – meaning they can link back to the content rather than only sending a screenshot.”

It not just users that have access to new features either, with publishers also receiving a toolbox as Reddit terms it when it comes to embedding content.

“This new toolbox comes with easy-to-use, self-serve tooling and includes features that clearly outline the predictable height of a post or comment, more prominently showcase the community the content is from and display the total tally of upvotes and comments. Publishers can also now add a call to action to join the conversation,” it highlighted.

With the platform recently announcing that it will charge companies for access to its API in order to scrap data, it looks like there are a number of changes a foot.
