New and Improved iOS Sharing ExtensionsMarch 28, 2018 at 12:00 PM EDT
Learn how to share content from other apps on your iOS device.
Are you using the WordPress for iOS app on your mobile device? Our mobile team is excited to announce a big update to the share extension in the app. The ability to share content from other apps is a core part of the iOS experience. Last fall, we decided that our share extension was overdue for a refresh, so we rolled up our sleeves and rethought the entire workflow for both iPhones and iPads. The result is a new and improved experience in version 9.6! Sharing made easierNow when you share content, you’ll notice that the share extension allows you to format text, add headings, make lists, and more with a toolbar similar to the one in your app’s existing editor. After drafting your post, you can assign a category and add relevant tags. When you’re satisfied, select the site to publish the post on and tap Publish at the top right. The app will then upload your post and images in the background and notify you when it’s finished. As a bonus, if you share something from Safari, the extension will provide an attribution link and automatically format any selected text in a blockquote. Our customers provide us with great feedback, and many of you have let us know that you often would like to capture an idea for later. Perhaps you want to upload a snapshot from the Photos app, or save a motivational quote from a fellow writer’s website for your next post. The new draft extension allows you to do just that: now, you can quickly save selected content in a draft post, allowing you to work on it later. ![]() ![]() ![]() Activating both of these extensions requires a few small steps, but you should only have to do this once. To get started, open the app that contains the content you’d like to share and tap the share button. The standard iOS share screen will appear. The top row contains iOS share extensions — this is where your WordPress share extension lives. The row underneath contains what Apple calls “action” extensions. You’ll find the draft extension here. On the share screen, do the following for each extension:
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The next time you open the share screen, you’ll see both extensions. Thank youThe mobile team hopes you enjoy these new extensions and that they offer new possibilities for adding content to your site. As always, we welcome your feedback. If you’re not using the WordPress mobile apps for your iOS or Android device, download and try them today! ![]()
