Booming with over 430 million monthly active users and 1.5 billion registered users since its release in 2005, Reddit is undoubtedly one of the top-rated, go-to online discussion websites. Reddit is a social media platform where its users post questions, opinions, posts, pictures, and videos, which get views through voting.
Multiple networks and communities are created on Reddit. Here, you can join and participate in a community that shares similar interests, likes, and opinions as yours. So if you’re a new user or you’re thinking of signing up on Reddit, you’re perfectly going to fit into a mutual community.
Like similar social media applications, Reddit has its own fair share of the divulgence and exposure of explicit and NSFW content online. Luckily, Reddit has a filter that automatically protects its users from viewing these types of content.
The safe-search filter can easily be enabled and disabled, as the case may be. So this guide, I’ll show you how to get NSFW content on the Reddit app on your iPhone.

What is NSFW Content?
You might’ve heard or seen the “NSFW” abbreviation a lot of times, and you still don’t know what it means or the details of this term. NSFW simply means Not Safe For Work.
Contents tagged as NSFW are mostly explicit or violent videos and photos that are mostly considered inappropriate to view in public or at work. As said earlier, Reddit automatically blocks such content from its young or underaged users. But if you’re of age, you may be allowed to view these contents online.
