Hi eero83,


Thanks for the post. If we understand correctly, you're looking for the Share button to gift an app. That's a great idea, and we're glad to help.


This covers how to Send a gift from the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Books, and more:


"Send a gift from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Open the App Store app, iTunes Store app, or Books app. If you're not signed in, sign in with your Apple ID.
  2. Find the item that you want to give.
  3. Find and tap the Gift button:
    • In the App Store, tap the Share button , then tap Gift App .
    • In the iTunes Store, tap the Share button , then tap Gift 
    • In the Books app, tap Gift .
  1. Enter your recipient's email address. If you want, add a message.
  2. By default, the gift is sent immediately after you buy it. If you want to schedule the gift to send later, tap Today, then set the date that you want the gift to send.
  3. Tap Next.
  4. Select a theme for your gift, then tap Next.
  5. Tap Buy, then tap Buy Now to confirm.

You can't gift a free item, but you can tap the Share button  to send someone a link to the item."


When you search the App Store for an app and click to show its details, you should see the Share icon on the right-hand side near the price.


Take care.
