Make app visible in Share menus

[swaree]

In many apps, Share, Send To, or similar buttons (see picture) let you quickly share to other apps without needing to browse the file from the destination app. I think it'll be useful to have this as a feature; currently, the app doesn't appear in these menus.

I don't know how this can be done or if it's even possible. Anyway, thanks for the app; it works like a charm.

Hi @swaree thanks for your Input. I have this on my todo, but it's not as easy as including it in an app you control yourself. I guess the only possibility is to fake drag-drop the file to the whatsapp chat - but then the correct chat needs to be open, which is not very user friendly/can be confusing. If I come up with an easier way, I'll add it. Maybe someone else also has another idea

@92lleo I love that idea, what if some bar would show up below the appbar when the app "receives" some shared stuff, saying: "Select chat, and press [here] to insert shared content. [CLOSE]" ?

Then it would be a quite clean and user friendly solution too. The user would also be able to close that bar with the close button if the operation was successful. OR send the same stuff to other users, which would make this even more powerful.

+1 for this, and a bit of context for my use-case:

For security reasons, I always strip exif metadata from media before sharing it publicly. To do this with WhatsappWebToGo, the workflow is:

1. Open the image in Gallery
2. Click the "Share" button
3. Select Scrambled Exif in Share menu
4. Select WhatsappWebToGo in subsequent Share menu

Unfortunately this doesn't work because WhatsappWebToGo doesn't appear in the Share menu.

Is there any workaround where I (as the admin of my own damn phone), can specify that WhatsappWebToGo should appear in this share menu myself?
