Changing Reddit icon to iOS caused surprise
The new look of Reddit icons has raised many users' questions. The icon, which was previously smooth and without pixels, has now become simpler, more square and, above all, lower quality.
Reddit users are given the opportunity to return to a standard icon, but this option is only available after the purchase of Reddit Premium paid subscription.
