The iOS Share Sheet provides a convenient way to share information via messaging, social networking apps, and email. It also gives you access to contextual actions like printing documents to PDF, saving images, copying links and even running shortcuts. However, with so many options, the Share Sheet also becomes cramped.
The first row of the iOS Share Sheet shows you recently used contacts to let you share files with them quickly. This row is not editable and will automatically change based on your call and message history. The contacts you’ve recently contacted show up as quick share shortcuts, and there’s no way to change this behavior.
This post will demonstrate how to edit the Share Sheet on iPhone just to show relevant options. While the iOS Share Sheet is accessible from some apps, we’re using Safari in this post.
Add apps to favorites
Below the recent contacts list, you’ll see a list of apps that you can use to share files from your iPhone. The first three apps on the list, namely AirDrop, Messages, and Mail are always there, while the rest cycle through depending on your recent usage.
iOS allows you to change this behavior by adding apps to your favorites list. Apps that you add to favorites always appear first in the Share Sheet. They will continue to appear there unless deleted.
Step 1: Launch any app that supports Share Sheet functionality like Photos, Safari, etc.
Step 2: If you’re also using Safari, open any web page and tap the Share button in the middle at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Swipe from right to left on the Apps row until you reach the end.
Step 4: Tap the More option.
Step 5: Click the Edit button at the top right.
Step 6: Tap the plus button next to the app you want to add as a favorite.
Step 7: Once you’ve added the app to Favorites, tap the Done button at the top right.
Remove apps from favorites
AirDrop, Messages, and Mail appear by default as Favorites in the Share Sheet. While you can’t remove AirDrop from the list, you can delete or rearrange the remaining two apps and replace them with the app you want. For example, if you don’t use Mail as the default email app on your iPhone, you can replace it with any email client of your choice.
Step 1: Launch the Safari (or Photos) app on your iPhone and open a web page.
Step 2: Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Swipe from right to left on the Apps row until you reach the end.
Step 4: Tap the More option.
Step 5: Click the Edit button at the top right.
Step 6: Tap the minus (-) button next to the apps in the Favorites section.
Step 7: Tap Remove to remove the app from Favorites.
Step 8: If you want to change the order of apps, touch and hold the three-line control bar and drag to rearrange the apps as you like.
Step 9: Click the Done button at the top right to save the changes.
The share panel also shows you a selection of other apps that rearrange themselves based on your usage patterns. You can disable these apps so they don’t show up in the share sheet.
Step 1: Launch the Safari app on your iPhone and open a website.
Step 2: Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Swipe from right to left on the Apps row until you reach the end.
Step 4: Tap the More option.
Step 5: Click the Edit button at the top right.
Step 6: Disable the toggle next to the apps you don’t want to show in the Share Sheet. Tap Done at the top right to save the changes.
Step 8: If you want to add those apps back to the Share Sheet list, follow the same steps and toggle the toggle next to their name and tap Done at the top right to save the changes.
In addition to apps, Share Sheet also shows you some contextual actions. Note that some actions may vary depending on the application you are using to invoke the Share Sheet. For example, when you use the Share Sheet to share a photo, you’ll see the action of setting that photo as your wallpaper, which won’t happen when you use the Share Sheet on Safari.
So you will have to repeat this process for each type of application. Although time consuming, this is not a big deal as the steps will be the same and only the actions you see will be different.
Step 1: Launch the Safari app on your iPhone and open a website.
Step 2: Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Scroll up until you see the Edit Action button and tap it.
Step 4: Tap the plus button next to the action you want to see in your favorites.
Step 5: Tap the minus (-) button and then tap Remove to remove an action from Favorites.
Step 6: In the Other Actions section, turn off additional actions provided by third-party apps that you don’t want to see.
Step 7: If you want to rollback the action, follow the same steps and toggle the switch next to the action’s name.
Step 8: Tap Done when you have made all the changes.
If you used the steps above, your Share Sheet will now only show the apps and tasks you need. It reduces clutter and helps you reach relevant options faster. That’s all for this guide. If you run into any problems following this guide, let us know in the comments below and we’ll help you out.
