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
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)
Well, this wasn't our purpose. It seems it's an unintended workaround.
Thanks for sharing this.

For now it seems to work much better. I can finally get my wife on the direct share menu :-) which is excellent. I will continue to monitor the issue.

Telegram used to show group chats in the suggested Direct Share options. Thankfully, the issue with 0 targets showing up is fixed I think - I also have had my individual chats showing up in the options!
Can we get group chats to show up? Maybe 1 or 2 instead of the full 4 options?

Please add saved messages to direct share list
As soon as a contact is on pinned it completely disappears from the native share widgets,
