Share Extension / Share Target in Bubble Mobile Native

We need the ability for Bubble Native apps to receive content (URLs/text) directly from the mobile system “Share” menu.

This feature — iOS Share Extension + Android Share Target — would allow users to share a link from Safari/Chrome/other apps straight into our Bubble app via deep links.

It’s essential for apps that save URLs, track products, collect notes, import media, etc.

Please consider adding native support. This would unlock many real mobile use-cases for Bubble apps.

Thank you!

It has already been implemented.. But you need to install the free Bubble plugin called “AddtoAny Share Buttons” to see the open share sheet action which is what you need.

I need to share a link from another website to my mobile app not from my mobile…..

So you know very well that deep linking is not yet available

You have a lot of time to dedicate to check who comments what

This is a great feature request. To clarify for others following this thread - the original poster is asking for Share Target capability, which is different from the share sheet that AddtoAny provides.

Share Target means your app can RECEIVE content shared from other apps. For example:

  • User sees a link in Safari/Chrome
  • User taps Share button
  • Your Bubble Native app appears in the share menu
  • User selects your app
  • Your app opens with that URL/content

This is different from the AddtoAny plugin which lets you SEND content from your app to other apps.

For apps that save bookmarks, collect recipes, track products, or act as read-it-later services, this is essential. Right now the workaround is to use clipboard - user copies the URL, opens your app, pastes it. But native share target integration is much smoother.

On iOS this requires a Share Extension, on Android it is called Share Target via the manifest. Both require native code changes that Bubble would need to support in their native app builder.

Definitely worth adding to the feature request list. It would make Bubble Native apps feel much more integrated with the mobile ecosystem.
