sharer/sharer.php?u= suddenly started redirecting to share_channel?
For my website I have a button for sharing stuff to facebook, now it suddenly redirects to some share_channel link on facebook and I cant post to groups using that. Strangle it also seems to affect people using windows?
Example: https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://google.com
Same here. Started last week. Following...
Same issue
And since yesterday every link share dialog redirects to the error page
An update: It only breaks on non-mobile devices, e.g., a desktop PC, or iPad. If you try your URL example on an iPhone, it will present you with the option to share with a group. Apparently, it's because m.facebook.com manages the Share Dialog differently. That is to say, PCs and tablets now handle it differently than iPhones, but they didn't before. Some time before March 7 2024, Facebook broke it - either inadvertently, or intentionally. If someone from Facebook ever looked at these posts, perhaps we could get an answer why.
What's even worse is that the new share_channel seems to not work with all url encoded characters. A comma seperated list for example is not working correctly. It keeps the encoded value instead of replacing it with a comma.
Currently it doesnt work at all on desktop. All the share dialogs redirect to https://www.facebook.com/share_channel/ which says "Page isnt avaiable"
It is not possible to share anything currently
