Just want to make sure I'm not missing out on something that would be very handy. "Social share" in the camera settings only offered Messages as a choice at first. I just noticed it now offers Duo. Is there a way to use it with your SMS app of choice?

I just turned it off. It was teasing me with functionality I can't have.

I don't have Twitter or Facebook installed. If you do, are those options?

In case you aren't familiar, it's the feature that lets you share directly to a "social" app straight from the camera screen. The option to turn it on/off is in the camera settings.
 
Nope for me under the camera settings I can choose up to 3 different social media apps to share with see screenshot below.

Ah! So it is a robust feature, I'm just not using social media apps. I was hoping it would let me use any SMS app, not just Messages.

It's not that I don't use social media, I just don't use the official apps. I use "wrappers" instead (e.g., Hermit and Simple Pro).

This is good to know. Thanks!
