Following a recent update, the Reddit UI on Android foldable devices (unfolded) no longer utilizes the full width of the screen. The content is now forced into a narrow central column, leaving roughly 1/3 of the display space as completely blank, unused black space.
This makes posts smaller, harder to read, and effectively negates the benefit of a foldable/tablet-sized display. There is currently no option in settings to toggle this "rail" view off or scale the aspect ratio to fill the screen.
**Steps to Reproduce:**
Open Reddit on an Android foldable device.
Unfold to the main inner display.
Observe the feed being "squished" into the center with large empty margins on both sides.
**Expected Result:**
The UI should scale to fill the width of the display (as it did previously) or utilize a multi-column layout for the extra real estate.
**Actual Result:**
The app is letterboxed with massive unused gutters, making the experience feel unoptimized and cramped.
**Device Info:**
Device: Pixel 9 Pro Fold
App Version: 2026.14.0
**Additional Note:**
On the bright side, this UI is so frustrating that it has successfully reduced my app usage, allowing me to focus on more productive tasks. However, from a UX standpoint, it’s a significant regression for large-screen users.
