How to Remove Reddit Authorized Apps – On Any Device
1. You’ve granted approval to a new application in your Reddit account
[70%]" data-media-id="240"> Email you obtain when an app is authorized in your Reddit account.
This is the notification you get when you’ve granted access to a new app in your Reddit account by utilizing it to sign in to a website or an application.
If you haven’t signed in anywhere using Reddit recently, we suggest you refrain from clicking any links in it. Alternatively, if you’re certain the email is genuine, you can click the links to Reddit to withdraw app permissions.
We’ve observed that applications for browsing Reddit (Apollo, Relay for Reddit, Delay for Reddit, Reddit is fun, Boost for Reddit, etc.) are most commonly reported as authorized without the user’s knowledge. We can only speculate as to why this occurs, but it certainly isn’t the fault of the app or its developers.
2. Eliminate authorized applications on Reddit
Now, let’s explore how to eliminate authorized applications from Reddit.
Just altering your password won’t suffice, as applications utilize access tokens to perform actions from your account. Logging out of the application also does not remove Reddit app authorizations. Here’s what does:
We timetabled a Reddit post with Social Rise and revoked the application’s access before the post was scheduled. Here are 3 successful techniques that halted the post from being submitted.
- Modify your password and disallow all applications – visit settings and adjust your password. You should also choose “Log me out everywhere”. Do this if you suspect someone has gained entry to your account.
- Disallow all applications without changing the password – visit account activity and complete the “Log out of all other sessions” form.
- Disapprove a single Reddit application – go to applications and select “revoke access” under the application’s name.
You too, minimize your posting duration, get on the trending page and automate mundane tasks. Test out Social Rise to economize time and grow your viewership. Begin for free in 1 minute.
2.1. Restore application’s access
If you wish to restore permissions to an application, just log in to it with Reddit again.
3. Browse all sanctioned applications
To observe all applications linked to your Reddit account, proceed to applications (page is situated in privacy settings).
Each application specifies its permissions, description, and creators. By clicking on the application’s name, you will be taken to its website. These applications require the specified permissions to fulfill your directives (they do not act independently). Hover over a permission to comprehend its meaning.

To verify which applications accessed your account, navigate to account activity. You can also observe when and from where the account was utilized.
3.1. An application is absent?
If you annul an application’s access by executing any of the aforementioned steps, the application will no longer appear on the list. If this is not the scenario, confirm that the username in the email aligns with the account you are utilizing.
4. Unable to unauthorize Reddit on mobile web
If you visited Reddit to delete authorized applications, you may have noticed Reddit on mobile web (installed).
[70%]" data-media-id="242"> Reddit on mobile web is automatically authorized on every account.
This application is attached to every account and its permissions cannot be withdrawn. You needn’t fret about it, as it is an inherent part of Reddit. The application is developed exclusively by Reddit as well.
Another instance of such an application is Reddit Ads. This is automatically authorized if you visit Reddit Ads while logged in.
Reddit on mobile web is automatically authorized despite never engaging with the mobile site. We set up a new account on a desktop computer, and the application was present.
