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
It shows the Direct Share contacts but not relevant contacts. I have a pinned chat with my boyfriend with tons of messages and interaction all days and it's not suggested 😅
I think it should select the chats with the most interacting, the ones you have pinned and the most recent. Also, only one of the chats suggested shows the profile photo. Glad to see Telegram Team is finally working on this and I hope to see a (real) fix soon.
There are still some contacts that do not appear in the direct share list. And also it would be great to have "Saved" chat in the list. (I have used FineLock -> HomeUp -> ShareManager to configure the 'favorite' Direct share list and do not see all my telegram contacts)
