Hello!

I have noticed that since the latest update of the iOS Twitter app it is not possible to activate the Twitter app via the share sheet. This problem exists on BOTH my iPad Air 3rd gen AND my iPhone 11.

So, if I'm using a news app (Guardian) and want to tweet about a particular article I used to be able to select the share sheet, select the Twitter app and Twitter would start up in new tweet mode quoting the selected news article.

Now selecting Twitter from the share sheet does nothing.

The same result happens when using iOS Safari app and trying to generate a new tweet via the share sheet from a news article displayed in the browser.

However, if the browser-based news article contains an embedded Twitter link; that link works perfectly.

I've raised the issue with Twitter Support but don't expect to hear anything back.

Just wondering if others have this problem.

Regards,
Peter
 
Same here. Twitter no longer shows in the share sheet on my 12 Pro Max and does nothing when tapped on my iPad Pro.

I’m having the same problem on iPhone 12. Have tried everything to resolve it. Don’t know if it’s a product with the phone or Twitter, nor do I know who to contact.
 
Same here. Any updates yet about the bug? Now I use a workaround (copy the link af the article I want to share), but it's not very handy...
 
New Twitter app update just fixed this.

I still don't get the Twitter app in my Safari share sheet. For a while, I had to bring up the share sheet twice, before the Twitter app showed. Now is doesn't show at all.
Rebooting my iPhone brought it back. Must have been the last OS update.
