There's a user guide now. Each patch has its own page: what it does, its settings, and a video of it working on a real phone. Start there to see what you're getting or to find a setting:

• Reseam user guide

• Morphe user guide

It also shows step by step, with a video, how to update.

New

• Swipe through albums: swipe left or right on a Reddit gallery or an Imgur album to go to the next or previous image.

• Open web pages in the browser (Settings → Patches, off by default): links to web pages open in your browser, while images, GIFs, galleries and videos keep opening in BaconReader.

• Comment videos play at full width, with shrink and full screen buttons.

Fixed

• Slide Show View fits the screen again, and long post texts scroll in it.

• Comment videos: full screen opens without Android's prompt, an ended video no longer restarts, and a growing video scrolls fully into view.

• The error dialog now catches every crash, says which patch failed, and links to the issues page. If you see it, please open an issue with what it shows.

Update

Your manager picks up the new version by itself. Then patch BaconReader again: Reseam · Morphe

New release of the BaconReader Premium 6.1.4 patches, for both patchers:

• Reseam: v0.1.17

• Morphe: v1.8.0

Features

• Select text: opens a post's or comment's text in a dialog, so you can select and copy any part of it.

• Load images only when tapped (Embed comment images): images and video previews in comments and posts wait for a tap, even on Wi-Fi.

• Preview while loading (Improve post media loading): a setting to turn off the dimmed preview shown while media loads.

• Account colors: each account's color in the menu and under the toolbars, so you see at a glance which one you're using.

• Show your account avatar: your accounts' avatars before their names in the drawer.

• Remove Log out: removes "Log out", which logs out every account at once. Each account's ✕ still removes just that one.

Bug fixes

• A comment's video gets the right size while "Load images only when tapped" is on.

Settings are under Settings → Patches.

Hi all.

Loved bacon reader but haven't been using it since the API problems. Normal Reddit has been fine but now there are full picture ads all over the place. I fucking hate it.

I'm a bit weary of bacon reader as it's now an apk download. Are there other alternatives that block all the ads?

New

• Images, GIFs and videos linked in a comment or a post's text now show right where the link is, instead of all at the end. A post's images use the full width.

Fixed

• Some comments showed their image, GIF or video twice. Fixed. (Reseam v0.1.13–v0.1.14 had this; please update.)

• Imgur albums of still images show their images again.

• RedGIFs videos keep playing after your phone switches between Wi-Fi and mobile data.

• Bluesky posts with several photos show a picture again.

• Reddit emotes show properly with "Show images" off, instead of a line of HTML.

• Chat: the unread count in the menu clears once you open Chat.

• Images in a post's text show in card view too.

Also

• The README now says exactly what to add in Morphe Manager / Reseam Manager. If Morphe Manager asks you for the non-premium BaconReader APK, remove the source and add it again as described.

Reseam users got most of the fixes above in v0.1.11–v0.1.14; v0.1.15 adds the double-image fix.

Happy redditing!

Reddit share links (reddit.com/r/<sub>/s/<code>) now open in BaconReader instead of its in-app browser. So do links to galleries, to posts without their subreddit (reddit.com/comments/<id>), and to posts on a user's profile, which used to open the profile instead.

It's on by default in both bundles:

• Reseam: v0.1.8

• Morphe: v1.5.0

Update the bundle in your manager and patch BaconReader 6.1.4 again.

I will look into some bugs you guys are reporting.

Since late October, Reddit has refused BaconReader's "load more comments" request, so tapping it did nothing and long threads stopped at the first page of comments.

The new Fix load more comments patch fixes it. It loads the hidden comments another way that Reddit still allows:

• Replies under a comment load when you tap "load more comments".

• In long threads, the next 50 comments load each time you reach the end of the list. That takes a few seconds per batch.

• Comments that were deleted or removed just don't show up.

Also fixed in this release:

• Auto-load: the small "load more comments" auto-load again when you reopen a post, not only the first time.

• Spoilers: a link inside a hidden spoiler shows the spoiler first, instead of opening the link right away.

• Images in post text: they line up under the text.

• Screen readers: they now read tables, the comment search buttons and hidden spoilers.

• Morphe only: the "Comments to load" setting shows its title again, and the "Open Reddit links" prompt shows its "Not now" and "Set up" buttons correctly.

Update:

• Reseam: patches v0.1.7

• Morphe: patches v1.4.0

Re-patch BaconReader with the new version and install it over your current one.

If something still doesn't load, comment with the post link.

Just started yesterday... expanding comments no longer works. And it doesn't lazy load new comments when you scroll to the bottom.

BaconReader loads every video as soon as you open a post, even on mobile data, and has no setting to stop it. I added one.

Video autoplay in detail view (Settings → Patches → Images and videos), on by default. Turn it off and the post shows its preview image with a play button; the video downloads only when you tap it, so you save data.

It affects v.redd.it videos and the MP4/GIFV videos of Imgur and RedGIFs. GIFs, the full-screen viewer, the browser and comment videos are unchanged.

It's part of my BaconReader patches, which also fix login, RedGIFs, Imgur, thumbnails and more, and add features like Reddit chat, a markdown editor and comment search.

Repos: Reseam · Morphe. Developed with AI assistance (Claude Code) and tested on my own device.

As requested in BaconReader patches for Reseam, if you use Morphe, they're now available there too: same features, same BaconReader 6.1.4, free or Premium.

Install

1. Install Morphe Manager.

2. On your phone, open Add to Morphe Manager, or add https://github.com/JoanComasFdz/baconreader-morphe-patches as a source.

3. Patch BaconReader 6.1.4, uninstall the original, install the patched one.

AI disclosure: as with the Reseam version, I built this with AI assistance (Claude Code) and test every release on my phone.

I love BaconReader and it's the only Reddit client I use. I've been working on patches that bring it back to life, and they're ready. They're for Reseam and work on BaconReader 6.1.4, free and Premium. I also have 2 PRs pending for ReVanced; once they're approved, you'll be able to patch it with ReVanced Manager too.

Install

1. Install Reseam Manager.

2. On your phone, open Add to Reseam Manager. The signing key must be 8fcc605f22082b88c826675e5614938e1fedcd769c3c568b79f3cd9564159437.

3. Patch your BaconReader 6.1.4 APK, uninstall the original, and install the patched one.

Settings are in BaconReader → Settings → Patches. Use an APK you trust: repackaged "Premium" APKs often carry malware.

Will this finish off Baconreader for good?

Anyone else having this issue?

Long shot question but thought I'd ask since reddit is pushing people to the app from the mobile website.

Is there a way to click a reddit link, say, through a Google search, and have it open the link in baconreader for android?

The reddit mobile website isn't the best but it's serviceable for getting quick info from a Google search. However, reddit is now forcing the app after reading a comment or two from the mobile website.

Legit was just scrolling for years with it and only i was using it. Baconreader stopped working a while ago (3-4 days) for me and i have no app listed in prefs and i'm not sure i even remember my api key details. And the official app is absolute ass, and i see they're not allowing any sort of easy access anymore.

Does anyone have a resolution? This issue happened after recently repatching BR. TIA!

I've been getting this error message for the past 2-3 days (as of 2026-06-12).

I tried clearing the cache in the app, and logging out of it. I cannot log back in, it tells me invalid username or password. I know it is correct because it's working when I log in on desktop (which is how Im posting this now).

I've gotten this error in the past but never for this long. Usually resolves itself if I wait 6-12 hours.

Does anyone have any suggestions for resolving?

In full disclosure, the Revanced steps I took to install it in the first place were about at the top of my tech abilities as I found even that confusing.

EDIT 2026-06-13: authorized apps is missing

I found that I no longer have the client ID that was once listed on my Profile > Preferences > Apps > Authorized Applications. I'm not sure if that was a Reddit Enhancement Suite feature or just part of the regular Reddit site.

Heyo.

Went through the few minutes it took to re-patch the BaconReader APK, sign back in, etc, and it's mostly working fine again, but I've noticed communities and posts marked NSFW aren't working? Despite being enabled on the profile itself on Reddit, and the correct filters enabled through the BaconReader app.

Anyone got a fix?

Hey all, ever since our workarounds got nuked recently and we managed to get everything working again, ive had a slight issue with my BR.

Everytime I switch to a different app to do something (whether it be messaging or quick browse on google) and then click back into BR, it resets back to the Front Page??? I've never had this issue with BR before but it's only started to occur ever since the new issues began.

Has anyone else encountered this or know any ways to fix it? It's a little frustrating if I go out to dig into something I've read on reddit and then come back to have completely lost the thread altogether.

Thank you in advance!

PS. I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S24

• Open Revanced (make sure it's the updated version).

• Go to storage and search for your Baconreader APK.

• Select APK source > Select from storage > choose your Baconreader APK (again).

• Follow the instructions & install the app.

It looks like it's using credentials from Redreader to get it working. Hopefully this helps.

Note: I completely uninstalled Baconreader before doing this.

Reddit seems to have deleted my previous app I used for revanced. Now when I try to patch baconreader premium I'm met with error after error and the patch fails.

app.revanced.patcher.patch.PatchException: Required value is null.

at

app.revanced.patcher.patch.PatchKt.topatchException(Patch.kt:266)

followed by a bunch more like it. Any ideas?

My Baconreader has been down on and off for like 6 months but the last 3 weeks it's been down completely. Always says "This subreddit is private" when I go to use it?

Any ideas?

I did try updating it today to see if that would help but nothing changed.

I'm not able to sign into my account using bacon reader.

Any idea what I can do?
