Viewing a detail screen will now update the current URL, which is now available as a value called `Link to current screen`:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/3/36f961aae23eb815ce9d56062cead278900ca5b0.jpeg)

Copy this link to clipboard, send it to Zapier, or use the Share action to let your users easily share items in your app any way they’d like.

Note: Your sheet needs a Row ID column (or just use a Glide Table!) for deep links to work.

Awesome! But the URL is tooooooooo long.  
So users can’t share it easily anyway.

Can you say why users cannot share a long link?

Big day, almost all my apps are online stores or catalogs. You can now share a particular product with a customer.  
Thank you GLIDE team.

We short URL because links are too long for sharing.  
Glide links look like this [https://app.domain.com/dl/ewAiAHQAIgA6ADEAMQAsACIAcwAiADoAIgBjAGwAYQBzAHMALQBNAGEAZABlACAAaQBuACAAQgBlAG4AaQBuACIALAAiAHIAIgA6ACIAZgA0ADYAZgBVAFEAYgAyAFEATABxAFgATQBVAEkASwBqAEcAVABhAGoAZwAiACwAIgBuACIAOgAiAEEAZwBpAG4AYQBwACAALQAgAFAAbABhAHQAZQBmAG8AcgBtAGUAIABkACcAYQB1AHQAbwBtAGEAdABpAHMAYQB0AGkAbwBuACAAZABlACAAYgB1AHMAaQBuAGUAcwBzACIAfQA%3D](https://app.domain.com/dl/ewAiAHQAIgA6ADEAMQAsACIAcwAiADoAIgBjAGwAYQBzAHMALQBNAGEAZABlACAAaQBuACAAQgBlAG4AaQBuACIALAAiAHIAIgA6ACIAZgA0ADYAZgBVAFEAYgAyAFEATABxAFgATQBVAEkASwBqAEcAVABhAGoAZwAiACwAIgBuACIAOgAiAEEAZwBpAG4AYQBwACAALQAgAFAAbABhAHQAZQBmAG8AcgBtAGUAIABkACcAYQB1AHQAbwBtAGEAdABpAHMAYQB0AGkAbwBuACAAZABlACAAYgB1AHMAaQBuAGUAcwBzACIAfQA%3D)

@david in the future will the links will be able to redirect to the installed apps in the phone?

Just try to share on WhatsApp and only [https://app.domain.com/dl/](https://app.domain.com/dl/) is clickable.

And title comes from Glide in WhatsApp

Brice, I still don’t understand how a link is ‘too long for sharing’. Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook, iMessage — all of the places you might share a link, never show the link anyway.

We would prefer to make them shorter, but I don’t understand how this prevents someone from sharing them.

Great features ! Awesome. Bravo !

However, is it possible to keep the custom domain link instead of [glideapps.io](http://glideapps.io) link ??

It shares whatever your current URL is, so, if the user is on your app using a custom domain, it shares that URL.

Can always use quickcharts to turn it into a QR code:

How would you share a QR code from inside your app using share button?

Images are shared as links right? Is there a way to directly share the image from inside Glide?

Hi 👋 @Brice just saying as a work around maybe, just maybe, use the Zapier shortener? Perhaps thats a work around for you?

> **[URL Shortener by Zapier - Get to know URL Shortener by Zapier | Zapier](https://zapier.com/apps/url-shortener)**
>
> Instantly connect URL Shortener by Zapier with the apps you use everyday. URL Shortener by Zapier integrates with 2,000 other apps on Zapier - it's the easiest way to automate your work.

Not tried it myself so can’t provide any further information.
