Any updates on this?
I just tried to omit the optional "text" property, and it worked. e.g.:
Share.file(
title,
"$name.png",
bytes,
"image/png",
// text: title,
);
I'm having the same problem with video. Will try leaving out the text.
faced same issue! @d-wolf any solution ? It works in Android but not working in iOS
Same issue. Works in Android. Workaround is not good, I need both image and text. Any update?
I have the same issue... Whats happen with whatsapp?
Same issue, please can this be address (great plugin though so many many thanks)
Same issue
Any update on this?
Any update on this, Whatsapp not allowing both image and text share together. Is this because of Whatsapp update or something else.
This functionality was working before on esys-flutter-share
I can confirm, It has not worked in the last 6 months
Yeh, I checked other libraries as well. those are also not working. Might be an issue of Whatsapp.

I tried and it worked! Thanks.
@carpiodanielj But that would just share the image, right? It isn't sending any text to WhatsApp.
We need to share both text and Image as we can do on Android. Image is related to my application content and text would be application dynamic link so anyone can click and consume the content.
Is there any way to achieve that?

Yeh not a problem of plugin but might be the issue with Whatsapp sharing on iOS (both text & Image together). If you know a workaround to share both on Whatsapp. Please let me know.
Any update on this? It works very well with android but doesn't work with ios.
I also need this fix, greatly appreciated if someone can help on it.

That's right, only image is sent.

I think it is possible checkout this link here: https://faq.whatsapp.com/iphone/how-to-link-to-whatsapp-from-a-different-app
The issue of being able to share only image or text has nothing to do with this library. I invested quite a long time with this issue and found out it's a problem with the whatsapp api. You can check similar apps like walmart, amazon etc and they also have the same behavior.
I am Also Facing Same issue. Is anyone got any other ways to do this?
It's long time since the issue was created. Is there any planning to fix?
