Hi @andrea7887 please consider switching over to using our Intent API share integrations
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/sharing-to-stories/android-developers

Sharing to feed can be done using a SEND intent. We also have Reels

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/sharing-to-reels-facebook/

These flows are actively maintained by our teams. This should also allow you to more flexibility in the UI of the facebook sharing buttons on your application.

Please do let us know if you have any issues integrating.

Taken a look at this previous issue for a solution

Remember to use FileProvider instead of Uri.parse as our docs.

Hi, thank you a lot for your reply. For the SEND intent to share to the feed is ok something like:

            val sendIntent = Intent()
            sendIntent.action = Intent.ACTION_SEND
            sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "$title $link")
            sendIntent.type = "text/plain"
            sendIntent.setPackage("com.facebook.katana")
            val packageManager = requireActivity().packageManager
            if (sendIntent.resolveActivity(packageManager) != null) {
                startActivity(sendIntent)
                return
            }}
