Le Chat by Mistral AI app for iOS: Cancelling out of Facebook Messenger pop-up results in a successfully shared message

 iOS 18.5

Le Chat by Mistral AI app for iOS (version 1.0.17)

05/26/2025

Description:

The Le Chat by Mistral AI app has a common problem. If the user cancels out of the Facebook Messenger prompt (without sharing a link to a Le Chat generated thread) then the app still displays a message that the chat was successfully shared. 

You will receive a "Link shared successfully" message even if the user has not shared anything. 

This problem has happened before with other apps. I believe that this is a problem with the Facebook Share SDK. 

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

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch the Le Chat by Mistral AI app for iOS

2.  Select the "Sign in" option 

3. Select "Sign in with Apple" and log in with a valid account 

4. Select "Ask le Chat" and enter in any prompt (Example: "Prompt: tell me the history of the Fourth Republic of France."

5. Choose the drop down menu from the top of the screen

6. Select the "Share" option

7. Select "Share Link" from the "Share your conversation" pop-up

8. From the iOS share menu, select "Messenger"

9. From the Messenger menu select "Done" without selecting another user

10. Return to Le Chat app via back arrow

Result: A "Link shared successfully" message is displayed (even after nothing has been shared) inside of the Le Chat iOS app after the user exits Facebook Messenger and returns to the Le Chat iOS app

Expected: A "Link shared successfully" message should not be displayed if the user has NOT shared links using Facebook Messenger 

Ask Le Chat a question to generate a shareable link. Select the share option to activate the iOS share UI. Select the Facebook Messenger option...

Do NOT shared anything (user has second doubts about sharing) use the done to exit out of sharing menu, and return to the app...

The Le Chat app displays a success message ("Link shared successfully") even though nothing was shared. This is a bad end user experience. I believe it is related to this documented issue.
