Hi there,

we developed a simple feature which shares a URL path of recorded video from iPhone via UIActivityViewController

Code Block let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(
            activityItems: [url],
            applicationActivities: nil)
 activityViewController.popoverPresentationController?.sourceView = viewController.view
          viewController.present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Everything did well until iOS 13.6 come.
Last week, we tested again the app and saw that we can not share via Instagram from our app at device run iOS 13.6, only Instagram sharing got this problem.
Please support us to solve this problem!

I got the same issue. But it came after the install of the new version of Instagram. It was not iOS 13.6+ updates.

Any updates on this one? I'm having same issue with Instagram 167.0 and iOS 14.2.

Workaround is that you wrap that url in UIImage and then it will work but UIActivityViewController won't behave right (it won't show preview of image).
