I’m having the same problem as Monica and this solution did not work for me. It’s annoying to see the same suggestions of people I texted one time a month ago to constantly show up when my husband doesn’t pop up even though I text him every day

But, isn’t it ridiculous that we have to resort to shortcuts because of these utterly ridiculous limitations in the new share sheet? Every day I’m utterly frustrated by iPadOS, I feel like ditching my iPad for a laptop again!

Hi Christ,

Try adding a shortcut called Make PDF using the Shortcuts App.

1) Open Shortcuts

2) Tap Gallery

3) Type in Make PDF

4) Tap the Plus sign to add it

5) Choose Get Shortcut

6) Verify it’s in your shortcuts by tapping My Shortcuts

7) Restart device

8) Open Safari

9) Tap the Share Button

10) Scroll to the bottom of the list and Make PDF should now be there

If you want to move it to the top of the list, tap Edit Actions and tap the green plus sign next to Make PDF, the tap Done

Once added, this shortcut should now appear consistently in Safari.

Example: Adobe, Word, Etc.

This is vital for me.

I can’t save/print to PDF.

If you are an individual who creates and researches PDF files; not having the ability to save and print PDF to Adobe or any other App which Apple has decided to exclude, or make accessible to users is absolutely insane!

Taking a snapshot of the webPage is time-consuming, and frustrating. With that insanity, you can’t save files because the App doesn’t appear in the actions menu, and you have no control to add the App needed. What a Mess!

Hi Monica,

At this time, there isn’t a way to change the options that show up in that part of the share sheet.

It is strange however, that the person you text with the most isn’t showing up. So let’s check your Siri&Search settings (this is where iOS pulls intelligence from.)

Go to Settings > Siri & Search

Toggle on everything under Siri Suggestions (in Search, in Look Up, and optional is on Lock Screen)

Scroll down and tap Messages

Toggle everything on

If all of these were already on, toggle off, wait for a few minutes, and toggle back on

Once you make these changes, restart your device

We hope that does the trick for you! Let us know if it works or not…

The person I text with the most (constantly) never shows up in the options for sharing.

Does this have anything to do with our text format?

We text iPhone to iPhone both using the updated ios.

There seems to be no way to edit who shows up in the quick share text message bar.

Help!

obviously apple broke this important feature (got rid of the option to be free set up a list of own apps to share to) and this author thinks the changes they made are an update.

Now I need 6 clicks where I needed 2 before iOS13.

This a downgrade for sharing.

I want my Facebook, Twitter and Hootsuite app in a row immediately to see when pressing „share“.

But NOOO – they are gone. Not there anymore. Hidden away.

OK, so on to 13.2 beta3 – this issue is STILL not fixed.

And, we still can’t suppress or hide the iMessage Contacts.

Some Shortcuts app issues have been fixed, but not all – the Open-In command in a Repeat loop, for example, still opens the file list instead of looping through them without asking.

So, I’m still not recommending updating from iOS12 – Apple have a long way to go with iOS13/iPadOS yet!

I deleted copied the link and deleted the podcasts bit, then left an iPad feedback, thanks.

I have found the new Share sheet appalling.

There’s not really anything new in it I want or need (changing the app list order to get favorites first has been possible for ages), and I definitely want rid of the iMessage contacts for the same reasons as in the other comments.

Incidentally, Open-In is not only broken in the Share sheet now, its also broken in Apples own shortcuts app, which I have been using extensively – try setting a Shortcut Open-In command to Open an app, either from a list or specified in the list – both crash in shortcuts I’ve been using for months or in new ones (also reported to the beta site).

I’m afraid that as an Apple user since about 1990 and iOS since 2011, I can’t remember a worse iOS release – I’ve loads more problems than these, and currently I’m advising colleagues and clients NOT to update to iOS13 or iPadOS.

Agree with the others, I want rid of that list of contacts, and I also want back the apps that are simply missing from the share sheet.

For me that feedback link just gives me a page not found, otherwise I’d use it to send yet another complaint to Apple about iOS13 sharing, I wish I had never updated!!

Apps that should appear in the sheet are just not there, or they are and disappear when other apps are updated, or they come back for no apparent reason too.

Loads of us just want to be rid of the contacts list altogether, but can’t do that.

I can’t even use iOS for work anymore because I can’t use apps that were previously excellent.

I’ve sent about 20-30 examples of the uselessness of this share sheet through beta feedback for at least 2 months now, and even in beta2 of 13.2 there is no change at all (even though some developers I have contact within large companies, eg Wahoo, say Apple told them it would be fixed).

This awful new Share sheet is driving many of us nuts!!

Hi Tim and Andrew,

We understand with your frustration on the uselessness of that top row of icons for some people!

Unfortunately, at this time there is no way to customize or eliminate that row of favorites/recents.

Consider submitting your user feedback to Apple via this link. This data is sent directly to Apple’s user experience and development team–it’s the best way we know to get Apple’s attention outside of knowing someone high up the chain of command at Apple.
