Blinkist app for iOS: Share sheet - Facebook Messenger UI is not displayed properly

iOS 13.4.1
Blinkist app for iOS (version 6.2.0)
Date: 04/21/20

Description:

One of the most common problems I have been being seeing lately also happens with the Blinkist app.

The Blinkist app does not display the Facebook Messenger UI correctly, after it is accessed via the iOS share sheet. This happens with the iOS device set to either light or dark modes.

Take a look at how Blinkist displays this UI:

This is how the Blinkist app displays the Facebook Messenger UI when the iOS device is set to the light mode. You'll notice the black bar at the top. Shouldn't be there.

This is how it is displayed when the device is set to dark mode. When set to the dark mode there is a large white bar...

Steps to Reproduce:

1. With the iOS device set to either light or dark modes, download and launch the Blinkist app for iOS
2. After entering into the app, select the "Free Daily Pick"
3. Select the "..." option in the upper right hand corner of the screen
4. From the "More Options" screen select "Share"
5. From the share sheet, select "Messenger"

Result: The Blinkist app does not display the Facebook Messenger sharing UI correctly, when it is activated via the share sheet by the app. With the iOS device set to either the light or dark modes, there is an incorrectly placed bar on top of the UI

Expected: Shouldn't be doing this. Blinkist should display the Facebook Messenger UI correctly

Select this option...

Select the share option...

Select Messenger from the share sheet.
