Confusing Save and Share buttons

[Cris Dywan]

I keep geting confused, even though I use Telegram several times a day, that "sometimes" apps are missing from the content picker I get via Share. Turns out the problem is that Share and Save are both exposing a content picker, but with different apps. I don't even get what the difference is aside from the different choices.

"handler": ContentHandler.Destination
"handler": ContentHandler.Share

It's as vague as our documentation sadly. I gather you can't "Save" a photo to Telegram, but you can "Share" it. Likewise, I suppose you can Share a photo to Tagger, but not Save it, whereas Saving to gallery makes sense. If you ask me, this should be simplified on the platform level, as it's confusing even to myself.

Does that answer your question, Christian? Do you think someone from the SDK or Design team should look into this? Conceptually I see a difference between Save and Share, but I agree it is indeed confusing.

No answer, marking invalid. (Or needs assigning to design.)
