Reddit – the front page of the internet. According to the recent reports released by the company, it claims 52 million daily active users and around 430 million users who use it once a month. The numbers are massive, aren’t they? This is the reason in the new Reddit update you have to enable NSFW content manually because policies have changed with increasing numbers of users.
Reddit is consistently improving its services on its website, and iOS, and Android applications. Reddit has decided to make its services equally available to all communities. Well, I am sorry for people who share pirated content. Reddit is still strict for them. And if you are a Reddit nerd, you must know about their strict policies for NSFW content as well.
The rules and regulations are strict, and it prohibits the sharing of NSFW content which are disturbing. So Reddit automatically puts a Blur filter on the image or video.
In today’s post let’s see how you can bypass Reddit’s forcefully applied Blur filter and see how you can enable NSFW content on Reddit. Because in recent updates Reddit has moved these options inside the setting and it is hard to find them.
Enable NSFW on PC Reddit Website
Let’s start with the PC browser and see how you can enable NSFW on PC using the browser. To enable NSFW on Reddit using PC browser;
1. Open Reddit’s Official website and Click on Profile
2. Now Click on User Settings

3. Head over to Feed Settings
4. Now Turn On the first toggle which is named ‘Adult Content’.
Here you have an option for Safe Browsing mode. If enabled, it will Blur the NSFW content for you which I highly recommend turning on if you use your mobile in a public space while browsing NSFW content.

Enable NSFW on Reddit iOS App
Time needed: 1 minute
Moving onto the Reddit iOS app. This one might be tricky for all the users because in recent updates Reddit has removed the NSFW enabling toggle from iOS App. To enable NSFW on Reddit on iOS;
- Open your preferred browser app. I am using Safari and open Reddit website.
Upon opening it will probably insist you open their installed app to surf the content. At this point keep your feelings aside and just tap on ‘Continue’ to stay in the browser.
- Tap on the Hamburger icon > Settings > Account Settings
- Tap Feed Settings > Adult content.
Here you have an option for Safe Browsing mode. If enabled, it will Blur the NSFW content for you which I highly recommend turning on if you use your mobile in a public space while browsing NSFW content.
Enable NSFW on Reddit Android App
It’s time for the Reddit Android app. This one will be easy for all the users. To enable NSFW on Reddit on the Android app;
1. Open Reddit Android app
2. Tap on Profile icon > Settings
3. Scroll down. You will see an option named ‘Show NSFW content (I’m over 18). Turn the Toggle on.

Result
Upon turning on the toggle, you will now be able to see the NSFW content and also it will enable you to show NSFE subreddits when you search.
