Top Flutter Sharing and Intent packages
Last updated: May 18, 2026
Sharing Intents allow your Flutter app to exchange data seamlessly with the underlying operating system. You can push text and files out to other apps (Share) or configure your app to receive incoming files from other apps (Receive Intent).
Best Practices for Sharing
- Use Native Dialogs: When sharing out from your app, always use the
share_pluspackage to trigger the native OS share sheet. It provides the best UX and natively supports AirDrop (iOS) and Nearby Share (Android). - Handle Incoming Intents: If your app can receive files (like a photo editor), declare the correct MIME types in your Android Manifest and iOS Info.plist. Ensure your app logic can handle being launched directly into a specific file-handling state.
- Rich Previews: When sharing URLs, ensure your website has proper Open Graph (OG) tags so that when users share it to WhatsApp or iMessage, a beautiful image preview appears automatically.
