The constant pop-up messages asking you to open posts in the app instead of the site can get annoying. Thankfully, you can turn them off.<\/p>\n<p>The frustrating thing about these pop-up messages is you may not even have the Reddit app installed on your phone. Still, the site will beg you to use the mobile app over and over. Turning them off is as simple as unchecking a box.<\/p>\n<p>First, go to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\">Reddit\u2019s website<\/a> in a web browser on your smartphone or tablet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-713135\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-02-09_13-51-20.png\" alt=\"go to reddit in the browser\" width=\"450\" height=\"187\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll probably see the infamous pop-up right away.

As long as you don\u2019t clear browser cookies, the mobile Reddit website will remember your preference. But if you switch browsers, the \u201cAsk to Open in App\u201d setting will have to be disabled again.<\/p>\n<p>It would be nice if the pop-up message itself respected your choice to use Reddit in the browser, but at least the social media company has this option. Now you can browse Reddit with slightly fewer annoyances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
