Android ShareViaInstagram opens Send To Direct Message

[jkufrin]

iOS opens the main dialog asking to share Story/Feed and successfully posts. Android 6 & 7 are both popping open straight to the Direct Message dialogs. It successfully posts the DM, but that's not what I want it to do. I can't seem to get to the Android regular sharing. I can't find any threads of anyone else having this issue. Any ideas?

FYI. I never got around this. I had to upgrade the entire app to the latest Ionic starter and re-import all project files and plugins and make necessary updates along the way. It was a pain. The ShareViaInstagram works as expected now though. Good luck.

cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing: 5.4.6

and install this version with
