## What it is
A React Native library that lets apps share messages, files, and base64 data with other apps via native share intents on iOS, Android, and UWP. It supports Expo managed workflows and bare React Native projects.

## Use cases
- share a photo to Instagram from my React Native app
- send text messages to other apps on Android and iOS
- share base64-encoded files from React Native
- open the native share sheet in a React Native app
- share files to Facebook or Twitter from mobile app
- configure share queries for social apps in Expo

## When to choose
- you need to share text, URLs, or files to other apps from a React Native app
- you want a maintained community library with Expo plugin support
- you need cross-platform share functionality without writing native code

## When to avoid
- you are building a native iOS/Android app without React Native
- you only need the built-in React Native Share API for simple text sharing
- you need to receive shared content into your app rather than send it out
