Feature request: When sharing a Toot with iMessage remove text (toot) from text field (iMessage) #1608

Search that this request don't already exist before creating it.

hi, when you want to share a Toot via iMessage over the Share Sheet menu, the Toot itself gets shared in an embedded form, awesome! But the text of the Toot is also copied into the Text field of iMessage, so it is basically twice in the final message. Is it possible to not copy it to the text body field? Right now I always have to manually delete it from there. For better understanding, see the attached screenshot and the marked Text field.

Thx in advance! Tuesday, 03 Oct 2023 19:34:09

I find this a little annoying too, but:

If your recipient is running a version below iOS 16.4, then I think they'd only see a URL instead of the preview (so the text would not be redundant). https://9to5mac.com/2023/02/16/ios-16-4-imessage-rich-previews-for-mastodon-posts/
Also, not sure what happens if your recipient is running (older version of?) Android.

I find this extremely annoying and it makes it so I don't even use the share button. I go into the menu, touch copy link, and then go into iMessage to send a link to the post. I really wish there was an option to turn off this behavior so that the share button only sends a link.
