Can you promote in r/iphone?
Reddit’s little corner for iPhone lovers (and some people who just mildly enjoy it…)
The short answer
Be helpful and engage in discussion first; if you want to promote an app/AMA or post promotional content, modmail the mods for permission and disclose your affiliation.
What works here
- Answer product/support questions (within sub scope) with helpful, non-promotional replies
- Participate in discussions and offer expertise
- Request mod approval (modmail) before posting app promotion or AMA
What gets posts removed
- Posting unsolicited promotional threads, release notes, or direct marketing
- Posting links to your product/YouTube/blog without prior mod approval
- Using the subreddit to solicit customers, surveys, or sales
Where this comes from

Explicitly forbids self-promotion (YouTube/blogs) and requires modmail for developers who want to promote apps or host AMAs — implies commercial posts need prior approval.
Relevancy and Formatting
Posts must be about iPhones and foster discussion — promotional posts that don't foster discussion risk removal.
Support & Purchase rules
Tech support, buying/selling and 'what should I buy' posts are redirected to megathreads or other subs — restricts commercial/buying solicitations.
Commonly removed posts
App release notes and similar content are listed as removed items — signals limits on product announcements.
