Social Share

Share images, video, and text directly to Instagram and Snapchat from your mobile app using the Median Social Share plugin.

The Social Share plugin gives your app granular control over how content is shared to social media platforms. Unlike the default share sheet on Android and iOS, this plugin lets you target specific destinations (such as Instagram Stories, Reels, or Snapchat Friends) and pass optional metadata like sticker overlays and captions.

Why Use the Social Share Plugin?

The native OS share dialogs on iOS and Android provide a generic list of installed apps and limited configuration options. The Median Social Share plugin bypasses this by integrating directly with each platform's native SDK, enabling you to:

  • Target specific destinations: Share directly to a Feed, Story, or Reel without presenting a generic picker.
  • Pass rich metadata: Attach sticker images and caption text alongside your media.
  • Check app availability: Detect whether Instagram or Snapchat is installed before presenting share options to your users.
  • Work with other Median plugins: Media output from the Web Screenshot plugin can be passed directly to Social Share.
