RealSelf app for iOS: Share sheet - no subject line when sharing using the native iPhone Mail App

 iOS 15.2

RealSelf app for iOS (version 6.4.5)

Date: 01/03/2022

Description:

There's a minor problem when sharing something from inside the RealSelf app for iOS using the native iPhone Mail app.

The default "Check out this doctor on RealSelf" text is not automatically generated in the subject line of the email. The subject line is just blank. This only happens with the native iPhone Mail app. This is a rarity among iPhone apps.

This is how it currently looks using the native iPhone Mail app:

Select the share option...

Select the iPhone's "native" mail app...

The subject line of the auto-generated message is blank.



This is how it looks after selecting the Gmail option from the share sheet. You'll notice that a default "Check out this doctor on RealSelf" subject line is added:

Auto-generated e-mail from Gmail has a subject line...

This is how it looks after selecting the Yahoo Mail option. Once again, you'll notice that a default "Check out this doctor on RealSelf" subject line is added:




This is a less than optimal user experience and it would be great if the default message could be added for users who use the native iPhone mail app.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch the RealSelf app (version 6.4.5)

2. Sign into an account 

3. Head to any provider listed in the app and select the share option 

4. From the iOS share sheet, select the native iOS mail app

5. Note that the subject line is blank

6. Repeat same steps with Gmail and Yahoo options from share sheet

7. Note that the subject line is automatically generated 

Result: The subject line is blank if the user selects the native iPhone mail app sharing option from the iOS share sheet 

Expected: The subject line should always be populated with the "Check out this doctor on RealSelf" text if the user selects the native iPhone mail app option from the share sheet

Flightradar24 app for iOS: Share sheet - auto-generated subject line disappears the second time the email dialog is activated

 iOS 14.4 on an iPhone 8

Flightradar24 app for iOS (version 8.12.2)

Date: 02/24/21

There is a minor bug with the Flightradar 24 app and the iOS share sheet option. I have only seen this bug a couple of times before (once with an app called Tangi, and another time with an app Zocdoc) with a few other apps.

It's a extremely minor issue - the fact that I have only seen this problem happen a handful of times in all of the different apps I have tried this with is what is interesting to me!

The Flightradar24 has a feature where the user can share something from inside of the app (an airport, a particular flight) using the iOS share sheet. If the user activates the share sheet, and then selects the email option, the subject line is auto-filled.

Like this:

After selecting a random flight from inside the app (an LAX to Sea-Tac flight) the Subject Line inside is auto-generated. 

After this pop-up appears, cancel out of the email and delete the draft. Then select the email option again from the share sheet:

After selecting the Email option a second time, the Subject Line is now blank. Not common to see this with iOS apps!





Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch the Flightradar24 app

2. Head to anything inside of the app (an airport or a particular flight) that has an option to activate the iOS share sheet

3. Select the Email icon from the share sheet

4. Note that the Subject Line of the email is correctly auto-generated 

5. Close out the email (by selecting "Cancel" and "Delete Draft") and then select the email option again

6. Note that the Subject Line of the email is now incorrectly blank

Result: The Subject Line of the emails created after selecting "email" from the iOS share sheet are blank after the email is closed and opened again 

Expected: This shouldn't be happening - only happens with a handful of iOS apps

Tangi Quick Videos app for iOS: Share sheet - auto-generated subject line disappears the second time the email is dialog is activated

iOS 13.3.1
Tangi Quick Videos app for iOS (version 1.4)
Date: 03/02/2020

Description:

Here's a strange bug that I don't believe I have ever seen with an iOS app before.

With the current version of the Tangi Quick Videos app (version 1.4) for iOS, the auto-generated subject line on email messages generated via the share sheet will disappear the second time the user activates the message.

This is much easier to show than to describe, so please take a look at the attached screenshots. As I mentioned, I have played around with numerous apps to see how many auto-generate a subject line. Some apps do, and some don't. Tangi Quick Videos is the only app I have seen to have a generated subject line once, and then have the subject line disappear the second time the email message dialog is called up. Very odd!

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch the Tangi Quick Videos app for iOS
2. Head to any video
3. Click the share option
4. From the share sheet menu, select the "Email" option once
5. Note that the email message has an auto-generated subject line that is relevant to the video
6. Cancel out of the message, and select "Delete Draft"
7. Press the "Email" option from the share sheet a second time
8. Note that the auto-generate subject line is now blank

Result: The auto-generated subject line on emails created via the share sheet by the Tangi Quick Videos app disappears (is blank) the second time the email is activated

Expected: The subject line on an email from any video should not be blank. Other apps do not do this

Select any video in the app...

Select the "Share' option from any video...

Select the email option from the share sheet...

I see that the email has an auto-generated subject line!

I cancel out of the email, and select "Delete Draft"...

I select the "email" option a second time...

The second time the subject line is blank! I have never, ever seen this with any other iOS app!
