WordPress app for iOS: Facebook Messenger sharing via the Share Sheet results in invisible "Cancel" and "Send" options

iOS 13.3
WordPress app for iOS (version 13.9)
Date: 01/24/2020

Description:

A minor bug has just started happening with the WordPress iOS app and Facebook Messenger sharing of WordPress posts using the Messenger sharing option accessible via the Share Sheet.

The "Cancel" and "Done" buttons no longer appear if you are sharing a URL.

Take a look at this screenshot:

I am guessing that Facebook has made some sort of revisions to the Messenger SDK, as I am seeing this with many apps. Not very user friendly!

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the WordPress app for iOS
2. Post something
3. Select "View Site"
4. Visit a post (a url) and select the share option
5. Select Facebook Messenger from the Share Sheet

Result: Sharing a WordPress URL using the Facebook Messenger option from the Share Sheet has a problem - users can't see the "Cancel" or "Send" options

Expected: Sharing a WordPress URL using the Facebook Messenger option from the Share Sheet should always result in visible "Cancel" and "Send" options

Open the WordPress app...

Select the "View Site" option...

Select the Share option...
Select the Messenger option...
No "Cancel" or "Send" is visible - even if the user designates someone to send it to...
