Direct share seemingly chooses random contacts and not the most recent chats.
Please fix the Direct Sharing targets in Telegram. For years I am getting some very weird targets while sharing something to Telegram contacts. FIrst of all update Telegram to use the new Sharing Shortcuts API. In the new Sharing Shortcuts API (but also in the old ChooserTargetService) please publish the most used contacts, or the most "shared to" contacts. For years I am getting totally random useless targets in the dialog. If it's too hard to publish the most frequently used targets then at least use the "pinned" contacts as targets. This will make sharing to Telegram a much better experience. Thank you !
Steps to reproduce
Share anything in Android
You will get a dialog with targets to share to
The bug is in the first line of those targets, at least two come from Telegram but they are picked in some random manner or with no logic
The fix should replace those targets much more usable contacts like the most used contacts or pinned contacts
Now the feature doesn't work at all, no contacts are suggested from telegram even after direct share is enabled from the app. Tried with both Google play and website versions.

Dear Bread, you are correct. please check/press on like and report in my new bug report here:
Even the long press of the app icon shows the contracts in the wrong order. So on top the contact I contacted months ago

Still having this problem in current Telegram, AOSP Android 13. Shame, because correct contacts in Direct Share would save a lot of time for all of us.
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.
