Reddit playing random video from another post on iPhone/ iOS /iPad [Solved]

 

 

Many iPhone users are facing issue with the reddit app playing random video on some posts. The Rediff app is showing incorrect video on the iPhone. The issue started recently on the latest version of iOS 14.6 and latest Reddit app for iOS devices. The issue is if you have Joined a page on reddit and it shows a video on your home page of reddit app, if you try to play this video on the app, it will load dark screen for 1-2 seconds and suddenly loads a completely random video from other channel post. The video loaded by reddit is completely random and changes eveytime you try to play the video again on the app.

This is clearly a bug in the reddit due to which videos are playing randomly while selecting a video to play on home screen. The issue is with Video only and not with the photos on reddit app. The issue is now persisting from quite a long time and there is no official statement from reddit on this. Clearly Reddit should test its all feature before rolling out new version of app and it is a broken functionality of video player.
