Here’s how to customize the Share menu on your Apple devices.
How to Add or Remove Share Menu Options on an iPhone
On the iPhone, you can edit the Share menu from any app that gives you access to it. Any changes you make to this menu are reflected in every other app, not just the one that you used to make the changes in.
Here’s how to customize the iPhone’s Share menu to your liking:
Open the Share menu using any app on your iPhone. If you aren’t sure which app to use, open the Photos app, access a photo in full size, and tap the Share icon at the lower-left corner. The middle row shows all of the apps that you can share your selected content with. To edit this list, scroll right and tap the More option, then tap Edit in the top-right corner. Use the toggles next to each app to add or remove it from the Share menu. You can also add apps to your Favorites and rearrange them by dragging the handles. 2 Images Close You can edit the actions in the Share menu as well, which are beneath the row of apps.

The Mac’s Share menu works pretty much the same way as the iPhone Share menu. You can customize the menu from the control-click options as follows:
Control-click on any file in the Finder, select Share, and click More. You’ll see a list of items that you can add and remove from the Share menu. Tick the items that you want to keep in the menu; untick the items you want to remove. Your changes will save automatically.
Organize the Share Menu on Your iPhone or Mac for Efficient Sharing
If you share files from your iPhone or Mac using the Share menu a lot, it’s a good idea to keep your preferred sharing options at the top. You can do this by customizing the menu, adding your chosen options to it, and removing the options you don’t use by following the instructions above.
Depending on what kind of file you want to share, there might be several different ways to do so from the Share menu. For example, with a video, you can send it over AirDrop, attach it to an email, or even upload it to social media. Experiment with each of these to find the best option.
