Confirmed "Share this thread" not working as expected for Android browsers

[Xon]

Affected version

2.2.15 & XF2.3.0Beta6

I've had a report that when using the Android DuckDuckGo mobile app (or Android Edge), instead of the XF 'share this thread' widget it uses an android dialog/overlay which copies the title+url rather than just the url.

So instead of copying:
https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforo-add-ons-2-3-0-beta-6-released-unsupported.221301/

It copies:
'XenForo & Add-ons 2.3.0 Beta 6 Released (Unsupported)'

Same on Chrome on Android. I thought this had been the case for a while now and that's just how it worked on Android?

Same on iOS to be honest which I discovered myself recently. Thanks for reporting so it being fixed doesn't rely on the off-chance of me remembering at some indeterminate point in the future

I actually like it having the text and url, what about an option to do both?

 

[Chris D]

It’s supposed to match the behaviour of our native share tooltip. Besides, the behaviour is even worse on iOS. It skips the URL entirely. Probably because of the line break. But, still, it should be just the URL. Most apps will unfurl it to a proper title and icon anyway.

Is this the one being referred too? If it is, Android 14 seems fine, when I click it, only this shows:

Nope, only the share icons on each post.

Nope, only the share icons on each post.

Ah ok. I still like having the title since some tools I use do NOT have unfurl at all.
