Share url only, not article title + url
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently, Android alpha share feature will send both the title and url of an article. For many (possibly most) use cases, it would be better to only share the url.

One thing I often do is Share>'Copy to clipboard' and then paste into a browser, or a chat program, etc. Even for sharing directly to Twitter or the like, where the share target is just for urls, I imagine that just the url is usually what a user will want.
