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 Direct Share doesn't show your frequent cha... #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.
Steps to reproduce
Share a image on android device
Check the suggested targets (first line, second lines are apps)
See you have NO Telegram targets available. They should be there, just like there are targets from Whatsapp or Duo.
This happens even when direct share is enabled in settings
Seems like Telegram devs don't really care to fix those issues. There are more weird problems in Telegram but this obvious bug is there for years. Especially if taken together with the Direct Share doesn't show your frequent cha... #979 bug. 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 :-( .

Same issue on Galaxy S22 Ultra, android 13 and on Galaxy Tab S8+, android 13. Please fix it, it is unbelievable!
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.

Dear Admin Dog, 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 Direct Share doesn't show your frequent cha... #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.

Thanks for the fix, but as Thomas said, it really should at least suggest latest users I have chatted with.

I think it has to suggest either: The latest used contacts/groups with sorting by frequency of usage. Now it suggested me someone I chatted with a week ago and didn't share nothing with for months.

Investigating further. Targets suggested have no image on them. A new bug....
