Pin share command

[IMANUT46]

I can't get the PIN/UNPIN command to work properly. Pinning a share won't keep it there. Anyone else having a problem?

So when you pin the app for sharing, does it at least show up in the pinned area at first, but then disappears the next time you try to share something? How long does it take to disappear?

As soon as I share another location. The next share replaces the share I just pinned. It makes no difference even if the other shares are not not pinned. I haven't found a common denominator to determine why it happens. The pinned share remains until I do another share.

As far as I can tell, only the 2nd row down can be customized by pinning. Long press each of those 4 items and make sure they're all Unpinned first. Then choose something from the main Apps list below, long-press, and Pin. Do that for your 4 preferred apps, and they should populate the 2nd row one by one.

Again, as usual, you are correct. I was trying your procedure on the FIRST row. The 2nd row is working as designed. If it wasn't for you helping me in the past get through my problems, I would have probably just lived with my ignorance. Thank you very much.

Glad that cleared it up for you! I had never really looked into pinning apps on the Share menu myself, so I learned a little something myself. My guess is that the top row is selected by the system based on recent or frequent sharing.

I noticed that also. Thanks again.

Sorry to report that my problem with the Share command is back. Previously, once I PINNED an account, it would stay in the first row until a new share was added. It has stopped working. I've tried all of the tricks that used to work to no avail. Did something change that I missed?

I don't think the user can manually pin a contact to the first row -- you can unpin someone in that list so that they get replaced by the next people you contact, but I don't see a way to pin a different contact there.

Thanks for getting back to this thread. Previously, when I shared, the recipient would replace one of the previous shares without pinning but would remain on the top row. Now the top row seems to be permanent. Something has changed in the last few days but I haven't been able to figure it out. I'm curious, what determines what is displayed in the 1st 2 rows. Thanks again for all your patience.

Did you already try unpinning the contacts who are currently in the top row? Long-press one of them and see if it gives you the option to Unpin.

I have only 1 contact in the top row (my wife) that's pinned and that's the way I want it. All the others are not pinned but don't move when they should be. It's very frustrating for me and I guess you too, even though you probably don't need it as much as I do.

If you unpin a contact, then I think they can be replaced by the next contact you message or call -- but the system will do that, not you. So try unpinning the ones you don't want, and the next time you call or message one of the contacts you do want to pin, see if they show up in that Share menu, and then make sure they're pinned.

I've done that. They are unpinned and won't go away no matter how many shares I do

It might be based on the last few people who contacted you (rather than the ones you contacted). That's the pattern I see right now on my phone, but I'd have to keep track of it for a few days to see how that changes.

Good idea. I do many shares during the day, so I will also give it a few days to see what happens. I know I say THANKS at the end of every post and I don't want the to diminish the positive effect you've had on me.
