    Hi Jay,

    There is nothing in either of those.

     

    However, the popup message no longer appears on either my phone or my wife's! I have not changed anything but the result is good!

     

    I guess our phones were scared because I started talking to you - you rock!

     

    Thanks,

    Tony

My device is Iphone8 with Os 16.5.1

and my app version is 366.2.6

I have no any updated option in app store so maybe it's the latest version

and this issue is related with os version?

 

This situation is happened only in mobile apps too.

using website won't popup the error share link modal

 

I have been clear my mobile app’s cache and reinstalled but no useful

Wish can solve the issue~ thank you for your help~

Hey nagisalin - sorry to jump in here, but would it be alright if we sent you an email to have a further look internally?

    Actually after yesterday, that popup link is over 🎉.

    But I don't think I have done anything?

    Thanks for help~

     

    I guess this issue happened

    when A shared a link to B

    if B has not been opened mobile App but delete the shared link from other device(such as web)

    This issue will happen and that's why the link can not find in share Tab
    (because already delete by self)

    I just supply my action, maybe team member can try reproduce this issue with some step~

    Thank you~

        I'm having the same problem. Annoying pop up message "File Shared with You" every single time I open the app.

        I've tried everything: clear cache, re-installing the app, deleting app + restarting iphone + installing again, etc.
