This let us share content in six of Apple’s own apps: Messages, News, Photos, Podcasts, Safari, and TV. What can be shared?Īt the time of writing, we were using the MacOS Monterey public beta. So, no matter what content you have been sent, you will know exactly where it is and how to view it. Today, we’re going to show you how to enable Shared with You, which apps and content types it works with, and where to find everything on your Mac. It will save you the time and effort of having to hunt down these items individually. How to find content that’s shared with youįor instance, in the Messages app, all you need to do is click a sender’s information button, and you will find everything that person has sent you in one place without having to trawl through your message history to find each and every photo and link.At this point, there doesn’t appear to be any way to clear the recent items from the Share menu, at least using Sierra.

We looked into a way to hide this Recents menu, but the most promising solution doesn’t work, which might be because we’re using macOS Sierra, instead of Yosemite.

One last thing: you may have noticed the Recents items at the bottom of the Share menu. Try selecting everything in the Extensions preferences, note what you use, and then go back and deselect what you don’t use. It might take some trial and error to see what appears and what doesn’t. Select unchecked items to add them to the Share menu, or deselect checked items to remove them. Checkboxes that are greyed out are permanent Share menu features and cannot be removed.Īfter unchecking many of the items in the Share Menu preferences, we can revisit Safari and see it’s much more svelte.
