To share content on Android is often unnecessarily confusing since there isn’t a common way to traverse the buttons, options, or to whom you want to send an image. That’s because of the fact that the share sheet, overlay pops up by every time when you press the share button. This is usually customized by the developers of the app you to using. While Google is substantially efforting for making the Share sheet a little better in the forthcoming Android 14. If it happens, then it significantly makes the sharing options much more graceful all across different apps.
Apparently, the change was first invented by Mishaal Rahman and then reported on other platforms as well. Whereas, it is now available with version number 113.0.5672.24 of the Chrome Beta. Also, as per sources, users on Android 14 observed Chrome’s custom share sheet had been reintegrated by the app’s regular sharing options. Along with multiple changes reflect after enabling the developer flag.
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 follow suit! pic.twitter.com/cHr4qGfSFy

The essential aspect of share sheet integration
Although the functionality is mainly the same. But copy, paste, and “send to your device” transfer to the top of the sheet. Whereby, that is the link preview to the content you are sharing and two rows of regularly used apps and contacts. The prominent thing about the share sheet integration is that the actions change. That significantly depends on what is about to be shared. For instance, if you share an image, you have the option of adding the URL or not.
Whereas to enable the feature, one needs to ensure that one has the most recent version of Chrome Beta. Along with Android 14 Developer Preview 2 installed on a Google Pixel smartphone. Followed by enabling the chrome://flags/#share-sheet-migration-android flag. At the same time, it is to be noted that, enabling the flag turns off the custom share sheet on all Android versions. This is alongside Android 14, where changes will appear.
