How is Android's share menu such garbage? (discuss.tchncs.de)

You can't remove things from it, you cannot rearrange it... Useless things and suggestions get stuck at the top.

I'm on Android 13. Have they made any improvements in the newer versions of Android?

Not sure if this is new in 14, but you used to have to select an app first, then select the contact in that app. Now apps can present the contacts to the share menu directly so no double tap. Funnily enough, Google Chat was the last app on my phone to support this feature.

Pretty sure it's been like that for a while, I have the same on 12. And it must be great at predicting who I want to share with so that it consistently DOESN'T show them in that list.
