Google Android 12 will ban third-party app sharing

Many Android apps support sharing functions. When a user clicks the share button, if the user does not implement the sharing function by himself, the Android system's sharing function will be called.

In addition, there are many third-party sharing apps on the market that are more user-friendly and can be used to replace the options that come with the Android system.

However, according to foreign media XDA, Google will ban third-party sharing apps for Android 12 and can only use the native interface of the Android system.

According to reports, the developer of the Android sharing menu App Sharedr recently stated that an error occurred in the adaptation of Android 12. The system no longer pops up a prompt to select Sharedr or the system's native sharing page, but directly calls the latter.

When he submitted the bug to Google, Google responded:

• We do not allow third-party sharing methods. This selection interface is used to select apps, not to replace sharing.

It is not clear whether this change will affect OEM manufacturers, such as Samsung, LG, etc., which have revamped the sharing page. However, it is not expected to affect the built-in sharing page of the App, because that is another implementation method.

Recently, at the just-concluded Google I/O conference, Google announced many new features about Android 12, among which the most eye-catching is the new Material You design language. Domestic manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OnePlus, and realme also announced the first #Android 12 beta# at the first time. In order to experience the charm of Material You in advance, we also immediately flashed the latest installation package to the Xiaomi flagship in our hands after the conference.

Sameer Samat, Vice President of Product for Android & Google Play, proudly announced this fact to fans when introducing Android 12. He mentioned that "personalization" has always been a basic feature of Android, and on Android 12, personalized design has been demonstrated beyond previous generations.
