What is Share Sheet on iPhone? 

The Share Sheet extension on iPhone allows sharing anything from your iPhone. It has a three-part sharing section to perform actions on your chosen item and share material with other devices and apps. You may open the Share Sheet in several ways. You often tap the Share button or select Share from a context menu. 

Share button: It resembles a box with an arrow. You may find it in the toolbar of apps like Photos and Safari. Tapping the button will open the Share Sheet to share your chosen material. Context menu: When you long press on any images, videos, or files, the Context menu pops up. The horizontal context menu will display a Share option if you highlight text on a Safari web page. Besides, you will get a vertical context menu if you touch and hold an image. Sharing in third-party apps: The Share button could be concealed behind a More button in third-party apps like Instagram and Reddit. Other apps, such as YouTube and Tumblr, have share buttons (a forward arrow). Tapping on it, simply turn on the Share Sheet menu with fewer choices.

Even though you may access Share Sheet in most apps, some still only allow you to share material within their ecosystem. For instance, the Share option on Facebook enables you to share a post through Messenger or your Facebook page.
