Same with Reddit. They have their own share sheet, and then 'other' which goes to the iOS built-in one.
I wish Apple was more strict on this. There is no reason for them to have their own. Same with the photo viewer.
I love the iOS photo viewer, it allows me to select text directly to copy it etc, but Reddit needs to use their own.
On the other hand, it should be possible for me to set up a default photo viewer.
My guess is that the custom share sheet lets reddit see what services users are sharing to
…which is exactly what Apple should prevent apps from seeing. It’s none of Reddits business where I share links to.
It also gives them a hook apply a watermark to the shared image.
that can be inserted before presenting the iOS share sheet
