New Feature
iOS Share Extension: You can share (text and URLs only, for now) from other apps to WordPress.com and Jetpack-connected sites.
While in another app, use the iOS sharing option to share text and/or URLs to a WordPress.com or Jetpack-connected site. A few notes for this first iteration:
- WordPress is available in the sharing menu in apps that provide text and URLs.
- Post status can be publish or draft.
- Site picker shows list of sites you can post to via WordPress.com (including Jetpack).
- Text is split between the subject and body of post if it’s multi-line. (The first line of text is automatically the post subject.)
Future features will include support for media (images, video), better caching of site lists, remembering last used post status and site. The goal is to eventually support sharing to all self-hosted sites, as well, but we aren’t there yet.
