Since 8.8 version when sharing anything the direct share feature is broken. It's enabled in settings but still you will get NO telegram contacts (targets) to share to. You will get Whatsapp and Duo and other apps with contacts but NOT Telegram. Until 8.7 it worked but also wrongly as the suggested contacts were useless (random). But they were there. Please see https://bugs.telegram.org/c/979 . If you can fix both of those issues you will get more people using Telegram. If every time you share all you get is Whatsapp do you think people will share to Telegram ? I am waiting for year and half for the first issue but now it's "solved" as I have no target at all. I tested this on OnePlus with Android 11 and the bug is also there.
Telegram Android 8.8.6 (27252), Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, 12 S? (31)
Same thing in 9.3.3 unfortunately. Every other app like Whatsapp, Google Messages work totaly fine. Only Telegram doesn't. I have no idea why to keep this bug. It takes away attention from Telegram to all the other apps where sharing works fine. Such a pitty :-( .
The apk file is made by the Telegram development team and there is no danger at all.
The app will be added to the one you already have (the stable one), so you can easily use the test version here just for testing and then uninstall it.
I tested the beta app for few minutes:
1. Direct share works again. I can see users suggested for sharing from telegram.
2. Unfortunately, just like before this bug started, it seems to suggest useless targets. Please see my bug report at https://bugs.telegram.org/c/979 . I think both those problems should be fixed together.
I will continue to test the bug further. Many thanks and please fix the targets selection as well.
