FB and WhatsApp are Not available as share options

Hello everybody,


Not quite sure when it happened, but I’ve lost the FB and WhatsApp sharing options. I have tried to enable both of these but there simply is no option. They are gone from the sharing menu.

I’ve dug through settings and can’t find it there either.

VERY annoying that I can’t share articles, pics, etc on my top 2 platforms.

any help???

Hey mikescrill,


If we understand correctly, you are not able to share content to two specific apps. We'd be happy to help get this sorted. Let's get a little more information to help narrow this down.


Which app are you trying to share from?

Are you trying to share to those 2 apps, or are you trying to share from within those two apps?


"If you don't see Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat in the share sheet on your iPhone or iPad

  1. In the share sheet, swipe left across your apps.
  2. Tap More .
  3. Tap Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat."

Hello,


The issue turned out to be not related to the apps but to missing updates and the latest iOS needing to be installed. For some reason, app updates weren't being applied automatically (not to mention they are now behind an extra layer <my profile> so I never saw the pending updates <some were days old>).


So the answer was a bit more mundane... updates!


Thanks

Michael
