The additions to the share sheet coming in iOS 18 include:
-
Landscape Support: The share sheet will now follow your app's orientation setting. If your app supports landscape, the interstitial screen where users review the content they are about to share will take full advantage of the wider space to show assets in larger size. This change requires no additional work from developers if their app already supports landscape orientation. (Enhanced suggestions for your journaling app)
-
New Data Pickers: iOS 18 introduces new pickers for various data types, including a finance kit picker for financial data, which allows users to share specific pieces of data without oversharing. This is part of Apple's effort to enhance privacy and minimize data sharing. (What’s new in privacy)
