This wikiHow teaches you how to cross out (strike-through) words and/or sentences in your Reddit post when you're using an Android.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open the Reddit app. It's the orange icon with a white robot inside. You'll usually find it on the home screen or in the app drawer.
    • If you're not already signed in to your account, sign in now.
  2. 2
    Create a new post or comment. You can cross out words anywhere you post on Reddit.
    • To add a comment to a post, tap the speech bubble icon beneath it, scroll down, then tap the reply button (a white arrow in a blue circle).
    • To create a new post, tap the + in the orange circle, select Post Some Text, then select a subreddit from the “Select Community” drop-down.

  3. 3
    Type ~~ at the beginning and end of the text you want to cross out.
    • For example: ~~This text will be crossed out~~.
    • Any text that is not surrounded by ~~ will appear normally in the post or comment.
  4. 4
    Tap POST. It's at the top-right corner of the screen. The post is now viewable by others on Reddit. Any text between two sets of tildes (~~) appears with a line through it.
