I was trying to share a news link, and the link itself is longer than the news itself. ๐Ÿคฆ

Please either shorten the links or provide a better solution. The link should not be two pages long.

The link to the actual story should be everything before that first question mark. Try copying just that bit and see if it still works.

Yeh it is but when you directly share over a messaging app of social media, it pastes a 2 page long useless link. I shouldn't have to delete rest of the gibberish manually.

IMO, it looks like, samsung developers don't even use their own products.

Samsung doesn't want to pay to use Bitly for hyperlinks

No it's not repeated. This is what was actually in the clipboard.

I guess they don't know what Bitly is!

You can shorten with Bitly to share it.
