I don’t like how my friends, family, and work contacts are mixed in to the menu when I press share. I see a random jumble of people from various apps on my device.

I want to clean it up and just keep a few apps there (ex. Copy to clipboard, open in Firefox, share to signal) and remove the rest. Is this possible anymore?

Some old threads suggest ShareDr but I can’t install it since it’s for an older version of Android

    Not sure if it can be done. The Android share menu has been a shit show for years. I also really wish this would be addressed.

      What? You don’t like a little adventure of “where the fuck did that contact go” or “where the hell is that app icon and why has it changed themes entirely again?”

    If you long press a share target you can pin it to the top. It’s something at least.

    If you have a Samsung, Goodlock can edit the share sheet down to the very app, as well as favorite contacts. I’ve also been using LinkSheet (available on F-Droid) with ClearURL to open links notorious for nasty redirects, and it may help with some of these features you’re looking for.

      Goodlock sounds nice, but I can’t use it unfortunately.

      Linksheet looks interesting, I’ll check it out!

    You can turn of showing contacts, that’s about all, short of root/flashing xposed.

    Specifically for me, if anyone knows how to disable the gmail buttons at the top I’d be interested. It comes up with two gmail accounts I never use, one of which I don’t even remember signing into on this phone, and they won’t go away lol.
