Help cluttered stock share screen?

dan55 · Jan 16, 2020

hi guys,

i really dont like the stock share screen, as its full of options i dont use .. i much prefer using a thirdparty share app that can be filtered etc

....but think that google dont like the and make it difficult for apps to use their own functions

anyone else either managed to edit the share screen or find a commonly working share app ?
...i use shareDr at the mo which is good ..... but isnt liked by other apps sometimes .... get a third-party blah blah warning :/

thanks
dan

I don't know of any third-party apps which are still able to work effectively. The stock one should in theory adapt its layout based on what apps you typically share to... but that doesn't always work as expected. And yeah, it's a pretty cluttered look.

In lieu of any solutions, I'd recommend using Settings > About phone > Send feedback about this device to let the developers know about your experience with the share menu and suggest how it might be improved.

He didn't say screen sharing, but "stock share screen", i.e. the interface you get when you tap the "share" button (e.g. when viewing an image) in order to choose which app to use to share it.

Sadly the Google sharing interface, which like many Google interfaces is not the best, is increasingly hard to avoid. F-Stop, which is my most-used Gallery app, does offer a list of apps to use with the "system share" as an option, but that's the exception.

I used to think that the thing that would drive me to leave Android would be some egregious privacy violation by Google. Now I increasingly find myself wondering whether it will be an increasing uniformity and the pushing-out of third party solutions that will do it first (e.g. their "gesture navigation" still doesn't work reliably with 3rd party launchers after 2 years, and they appear satisfied with that situation - at the moment I can work round that because I have other options, but I'm sure they will go away in future).
