Turn off contacts in the iOS 13 Share Sheet

This feature is extremely annoying! Please add an ability to remove this block with chats. And also it’s absolutely necessary to add confirmation popup before sharing to prevent accidental shares.

Did you tell Apple this is somethingyou'd like to see?

me too, this thread is like rasputin and will never die ...

sidenote: admins, since there is nothing to be gained, no resolution and no answer to all of us who hate this feature why not close and lock the **** thread ?

in the meantime i have pressed the "following" button multiple times and it then turns to "follow" but i still get all the **** replies

should i press the "follow" button or what ? ... it is confusing

how about just a red button for stop and green button for continue to receive that would be nice

in the meantime, despite multiple attempts i keep receiving email updates which god knows i don't want

this what i have done multiple times ...left the page looking like this, shouldn't this stop updates ?

I'm absolutely agree. There is only meaningless talk here, admins banned me and deleted my messages a few tines but keep me updated with other people posts. If you ban me then at least unsubscribe from this thread please!

This contact list at the top of the share section is the worst feature and I won’t be upgrading any of my other Apple devices because of it until they create a way to turn it off in the future. Apparently the only way to get rid of it is to erase every text message you have. Terrible!!! And stop trying to force me to upgrade Apple, let manual upgrading be actually manual. Makes so mad I’m tempted to get an Android phone!!!

meanwhile, no matter what i do, no matter how many time uncheck follow, this is the thread that won't die, i get updates despite every attempt to turn them off

same guy that thought up the forced/no-option/can't-turn-it-off sharing of frequent contacts also coded this forum and he designed the thread notifications as a peculiar from of jobian torture

on 3/24/20 with Ios13.3 the share sheet On my iPhone shows contacts but the share sheet on my iPad does not show contacts.

On my iPad messaging is not enabled. On my iPhone messaging is enabled.

i do not see a way to edit share sheet regarding contacts.

Yeah that works, but what really stinks is when you get undeliverable error when sending and then the contact never deletes. Even when you delete the original message. I was included in a group message of people are hardly ever message. Replied but got an error to one of the recipients. Now I can’t remove the contact from the top row. Even with the message deleted. Annoying.

i just checked the brown box that says "following", it now looks white and says "follow", just a little time and i will start to get replies to this ridiculous absurd thread that should have been shut down a long time, the same guy that thought up the share contact idea is coding this forum .... rotfl

hilarious ... this is the rasputin thread, it will not die

i can't turn it off no matter what i do ... it ... literally ... is impossible to unfollow

same great minds behind the mandatory share "feature" and the code for this board

all i want is to stop getting replies to this goddamn thread

and no matter what i do or many times i click off the "following" button to see and then not-click the "follow" button assuming i have then unfollowed the thread from rasputins grave,

i keep getting replies sent to my inbox

i would be pleased to never lay eyes on this thread again for the rest of my existence but i keep getting replies

i cannot unfollow this thread

help me do that and you will never hear from me again

Does Apple see how people are getting frustrated about this serious issue? I already called them and send a feedback mail to them.

In the first time of using an iPhone, I’m seriously thinking of switching over to another company!!

This feature lacks in any Data Security and for people like us, using the phone in business and private it’s absolutely not good!

i can’t show costumers my phone anymore, because every time I want to share something while people watching my phone I’m giving away names and data they are not supposed to see!

Please Apple, REMOVE IT!

Apple is not reading here. You can keep submitting feedback if you wish. However, based on what I'm seeing on these forums, the number of people who don't like this feature is comparatively small so, it's unlikely that there will be enough feedback to make Apple change this feature that many find very useful.

A - This feature lacks in any Data Security and for people like us,

B - i can’t show costumers my phone anymore, because every time I want to share something while people watching my phone

To me, statement A can be solved by not doing what's in statement B

And so you have it >>> Feedback for Apple goes here >>> http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Makes sense to me. Of course, I can't figure out why I'd be showing anyone any screen that involved the share sheet. People may have reasons but pretty much anything you want to show someone could be shown without showing them that screen.

I need it in my business, but thanks for your not helping answer!

Be that as it may.

If you use a consumer level tool for business purposes, adjusting your business model is less effort than expecting the consumer level tool to be changed to fit your business model.

If you were a contractor who needs to carry 20 sheets of drywall at a time, would you go to the manufacturer of the Mini Cooper automobile you own and ask them to alter their car to meet your truck needs?
