I have installed the iOS 26 Beta on my device and conducted a comprehensive functionality test of my iOS application, which I designed and developed. The application includes a feature that allows users to share images directly to X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook.

During testing, I encountered an issue where the icons for X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook do not appear in the share dialog, despite both apps being installed on the device. This issue prevents users from sharing images to these platforms directly from the app.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Install iOS 26 Beta on a compatible device. 2.Ensure that both the X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook apps are installed and logged in on the device. 3.Open the iOS application and navigate to the image sharing feature. 4.Attempt to share an image using the share dialog. 5.Observe that the icons for X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook are missing from the share options.

Expected Behavior: The share dialog should display icons for X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, allowing users to share images directly to these platforms.

Actual Behavior: The icons for X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook do not appear in the share dialog, preventing direct sharing to these platforms.

Code Implementation: I have not implemented any code to exclude X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook from the share options. Below is the relevant code for controlling the share screen:

let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: activityItems, applicationActivities: applicationActivities) let excludedTypes = [ UIActivity.ActivityType.assignToContact, UIActivity.ActivityType.print, ] activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = excludedTypes activityViewController.completionWithItemsHandler = completion self.present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

As shown in the implementation, there is no exclusion of X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, yet their icons do not appear in the share dialog.

You should probably raise this as a bug in the usual way. It won't really get progressed if it's only posted in these Developer Forums.

You need to raise each issue you find separately at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/ You can post the FB numbers here if you want, so that others can link to them.

Also, after you mention "X" is "(formerly Twitter)" once, you really don't need to keep doing it ;)

Thank you for your response.

Just to clarify, I actually submitted this issue via Feedback Assistant back in late June, and I haven’t received any response yet. The Feedback ID is FB18367601.

Since the issue still persists even in iOS 26 Beta 3, I decided to also post it here on the Developer Forums in hopes of gathering more insights or confirmation from others experiencing the same behavior.

I appreciate your suggestion, and I’ll continue to monitor the Feedback Assistant for any updates. Also, thanks for the note about the “formerly Twitter” phrasing — I’ll keep that in mind going forward!
