Can't Share Safari web Links to Messages

the message content box is now blank when using the share (box w arrow) button when trying to share web links from safari.

send button never becomes active as there’s no content.

rebooting helps for a time.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16

This has been a persistent sharing problem for Safari to Messages for at least 6 months. The message field is blank, when it should be populated with the web link. Force restart helps for a time, but the successful intervals keep getting shorter and shorter.


There is a bug in the OS. People use this feature often. Please find and fix it.
