Native Share Sheets on the Web

by Posted on

native share sheet iOS Our news sites have been updated with a new feature to make sharing articles more direct and simple. Now when you tap the share button on our websites, instead of our collection of shortcuts to various social media sites, the native share sheet on your device will open. This allows users to directly share articles and links with the apps and services installed on your device.

On iOS this brings up the familiar share sheet, and on other supported browsers and platforms the OS native sharing menu will be displayed whether on mobile or a desktop.

Just tap share under the headline or look for the share button next to the read article button.

 

This is a new feature only supported by the latest Safari (v12.1 or iOS 12.2) and Chrome (v75) and later browsers.
