Description
Expected behavior
When sharing a VideoPress video from the player, it should allow the user to use native sharing options to use other apps.
Actual behavior
Sharing option doesn’t take advantage of the device's native sharing options.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Open a post that contains a VideoPress video in the Reader.
- Play a video.
- Tap on the sharing button.
- Observe that there's no option to open native sharing options.
Tested on Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G, Android 13, JPAndroid / WPAndroid 22.8-rc-3
