Umm that I'm not sure of as I've always give with the default setting!
So I really tried to find a way but it seems that of all apps, Google News is the one where share menu customisation simply isn't possible. Bummer as it's the one where I now want it the most
In all other apps so far I've been able to just drag and pin Pocket to the first position in the menu. Meanwhile on iOS I can easily set this choice system wide and be done with it.
Ironically then, that's 2-0 to Google apps on iOS over Google apps on Android (in my personal use case): share menu customisation unavailable in Google News and the Transit Departures widget for Google Maps not existing on Android.
And before anyone gets defensive (
@mjschabow this is not directed at you): no I am not an Apple fanboy out to bash Android. I'm just a smartphone geek who wants all platforms to be equal so I can get my preferred workflow happening on any device that stirs my gadget lust

Yeah it's amazing that iOS widgets have surpassed Android widgets. At this same time 3 or 4 years ago I was most likely ranting against iOS mainly because of widgets. It's a shame Google abandons stuff so much, from what I understand developing Android widgets is difficult and they break easily, which is why more and more devs are choosing just not to make them. Honestly what widgets are good these days other than weather widgets, and even then. Even Google sucks at them, the google voice widget got dumbed down, you can't scroll inside it anymore and half of it is taken up by the huge titlebar, number verification and do not disturb blocks, although of course there isn't even a widget for iOS but in either case I'm just going to open the app anyway.
iOS widgets seem much more elegant, refined and not eyesores. I wish I could get a single vertically scrolling page of widgets on Android, but due to the haphazard way they fit onto home pages and the lack of being able to stretch them out all the way to the edges of the screen, means I have to have 3 or 4 home pages just for widgets.
PS: How do you like the 6T? I almost grabbed one, it seems like a phenomenal phone, especially for the price. Almost instant OS updates as well. If it wasn't for the Pixel camera I would have picked up a 6T instead.
Hey sorry about this slow azz reply. You asked about the 6T - hilariously I've had such trouble making my mind up about this phone that I ended up not being able to say anything at all. But now, after using it side by side with my 7 Plus for a month, I feel like my opinion on it is finally settling. And my quick summary would be basically this: I like the 6T fine but I still prefer to keep my main SIM in the iPhone. I still haven't given up on it completely, but my gut feeling tells me I should sell it before the price dives too much, and then wait until September to go for either the Note 10 or the next gen iPhone Max.
I started writing down some specific points but stopped myself as it was getting too long, might pop into the 6T thread for that though. Basically what irks me the most is the actual outline of the 6T display which frames the content in such a way that it often looks messy or glitched out, which really disturbs me in the long run. Other than that I have no issues with it really, it's fast, on screen fp reader works fine, hasn't crashed a single time in a month, battery life great with fast charging being freaking wonderful, etc. Sadly I have little to say about the camera as I'm such a bad photographer and don't use very seriously. But yeah...basically mega bang for your buck if you can live with the shape of the display.
And Android itself of course, that's where I really haven't made up my mind yet...
