According to the latest report, Google Chrome is experimenting with Android 14’s new ChooserActions API to display custom actions at the top of Android’s share sheet. This is an important step for Chrome to ditch its custom share sheet on Android, and hopefully, other apps will follow suit!
Chrome currently uses its own custom share sheet to display these actions (copy link, send to your devices, QR code, print), but Google is trying to move developers away from using custom share sheets.
A new Chrome flag (chrome://flags#share-sheet-migration-android) toggles whether to use the app’s custom share sheet or the OS one. When the flag is enabled on Dev or Canary builds on Android 14 devices, the ChooserAction API will display these app actions in the OS share sheet.
Alongside the new row for app-defined actions (powered by the ChooserActions API), Android 14 brings a couple of other improvements to the share sheet experience. You can track the progress of Chrome’s share sheet changes here.
