## 2. Native sharing from the application

From the native apps:
1. Click on the share icon in a given article
2. Select the social apps* installed on your phone (Facebook, X (Twitter), Whatsapp, SMS, etc.) you want to share your content in.
**In order for sharing to be possible, you must already be connected to your social applications.*

For example, to share content on Facebook from the application:
-The Facebook application must be installed on the phone
-You must already be connected to the Facebook application (and for iOS, in the phone settings).

**Warning: to share content from your native apps (iOS and Android), the [PWA must be activated](https://www.goodbarber.com/help/publish-and-update-your-pwa-r122/understand-progressive-web-app-pwa-publication-a147/) .

iOS behavior when clicking a shared link:**
- If you installed a domain name + set [Universal links](https://www.goodbarber.com/help/advanced-app-settings-r65/launch-the-native-apps-when-clicking-a-link-from-outside-the-app-a381/) and that the iOS native app is installed on the device: the native app will be launched.
- If you installed a domain name but didn't set Universal link, even if the iOS native app is installed on the device: the PWA will be launched.

**Android behavior when clicking a shared link:**
- If you installed a domain name on your project and that the Android native app is installed on the device: the native app will be launched.
