TheFork - Restaurant Bookings app for iOS: Cancelling out of Facebook Messenger sharing results in a "Sharing Sent" message

TheFork - Restaurant Bookings app for iOS (version 13.4.1)
Date: 08/16/2019

Description:

This is easier to show than it is to describe, so please see the attached screenshots.

The small bug I am about to describe that occurs with cancelling out of Facebook Messenger sharing with TheFork app is a common one. You can read more about this problem here.

If the user cancels out of the Facebook Messenger sharing dialog, there will still be a message that says:

There shouldn't be a message that something (in this case a restaurant detail page) was sent, when the user actually cancelled out of sharing a message.

I know that this is a somewhat common problem with iOS apps. I've encountered it with One:Night, Postmates, and some other apps.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the TheFork - Restaurant Bookings app (version 13.4.1)
2. Select any restaurant listed in the app
3. Select the share option in the upper right hand corner of the screen
4. Select the Facebook Messenger option
5. Cancel out of the Facebook Messenger screen (do not share)

Result: A "Sharing Sent" message appears for users who cancel out of sharing a restaurant listing via Facebook Messenger

Expected: There should not be a "Sharing Sent" message if the user cancels out of sharing a restaurant using Facebook Messenger

Please take a look at the following screenshots:

Open the TheFork - Restaurant Bookings app...

Select a restaurant detail page...

Select the share option...

Select the Facebook Messenger option...

Select the "Cancel" option...

A "Sharing sent" message appears - even though nothing was shared.
