You can modify the Share tool to include and get rid of specific apps and services so it’s populated with the ones you desire. The capability to edit the Share menu has actually been offered for a number of years, soyou’ll have the ability to do this even if you’re not running the latest version of iOS/ iPadOS. Here’s how. Open an app To begin, open any appon your iPhone or iPad

from which the Share tool is normally available. If you’re not sure which one to utilize, the Photos app is a good option. After opening the app, tap a particular photo and then tap the Share icon on top or bottom of the screen (Figure A). Figure A View the Share menu The Share menu is divided into three areas: The top row shows a list of contacts with whom you can share the existing product

through a text message. The 2nd row displays a list of apps with which you can share the item.

The third area displays a range of commands you can use to share the product(Figure B). Figure B Modify the row of contacts The leading row of contacts is generated based on the contacts you access the most regularly. You ca

n’t directly modify this row,

but you can get rid of a particular contact from the list if you don’t often share content with them. To do this, long press on the contact’s icon and tap Suggest Less. That contact will be eliminated from the row (Figure C). Figure C Modify the row of apps To customize the second row of apps, swipe the two all the method to the left and tap the More icon. Tap the Edit link. The section for

Favorites contains the apps you

utilize the most for sharing; by default, Messages and Mail are in this area– you can tap the minus sign for either one if you do not often utilize it. If you want to add other apps that you frequently utilize to the Favorites list, tap the plus sign beside an app in the Suggestions area (Figure D). Figure D Change the order of apps After you select which apps must be amongst your favorites, you can tweak their order to put the ones utilized most at the top– simply drag each app by its hamburger icon and drop it greater or lower in the list

(Figure E). Figure E Remove specific apps

The apps in the Suggestions area still appear in the Share menu after your favorites, and the menu can get crowded, so you may wish to disable specific suggested apps that you never ever use. Simply shut off the switch for any such apps, and they’ll no longer appear in the menu. If you alter your mind, you can constantly go back to the editor and switch on the switch for an app you want to see again. When finished editing this row, tap Done and then tap Done once again (Figure F).
