My app’s URL: [https://angiegensler-smcc.glideapp.io/](https://angiegensler-smcc.glideapp.io/)

For Android users, you can hold an image and it will pull up the share bar/ screen. (No Issues)

I’m having Apple iOS users say they get the hepatic feedback but then nothing.  
On Apple’s developer’s website, it says they have the ability to do this.

> **[Social Media - Technologies - Human Interface Guidelines - Apple Developer](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/social-media/overview/)**

  

> **[Sharing and Actions - Extensions - iOS - Human Interface Guidelines - Apple...](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/extensions/sharing-and-actions)**

So I’m assuming this is a bug of some sort and not a feature request.

PS I’ve also tried the Share button but that only shares the link and not the image.  
Anyone else see this issue or have a workaround?

@david is this a bug? Or am I missing something?

Apple triggers the haptic feedback when you touch the screen in this way in Safari. We have no control over it.

@david thanks for responding.

I know you don’t have control over what apple does. But is there a way for iOS users to share an image?

As the share feature only shares the link.

Attach a Share action to the image.

I am running into the same troubles. The share Action does bring up a share menu. Although, it is highly abbreviated from the share menu available elsewhere throughout iOS.

I believe that IOS is “smart” enough to remove any from the list that don’t apply or don’t make sense in the current context.

@Darren_Murphy I would think so too but check out these two images sharing options. The abbreviated list is from Glide.

First one is a long press on an image in Slack.

Second one is from an image in a Glide App. selecting the share action. Attempted both way of creating the Show Share Actions and the the Enlarge Image action with a sharing button. Both resulted in this same abbreviate list.

Sorry, I can’t explain that.
