As of 7/31/2025, these are all the default sharing actions included in the iOS version of Apple’s Shortcuts.
I did my best to adjust descriptions for better uniformity, so most of these will read differently in Shortcuts itself.
Main
- Share: Prompts to share the input.
- Share with Apps: Prompts to share the input with action and sharing extensions provided by other apps.
- Send Message: Sends a message.
- Pass images, videos, or other files as input to include attachments.
- Send Email: Presents an email composer. Pass text into the action to set the email body.
- Other types of input are added as attachments.
AirDrop
- AirDrop: Prompts to share the input via AirDrop.
Clipboard
- Copy to Clipboard: Copies the input to the clipboard.
- Get Clipboard: Returns the contents of the clipboard.
Photos
- Post to Shared Album: Shares input images with shared photo album.
OR Code
- Generate QR Code: Generates a QR code from the input text.
- Scan QR or Barcode: Scans a QR code or barcode using the camera, and returns the text/URL that is found.
Conclusion
You can view all of this yourself directly in shortcuts, by tapping on the information icon on the right end of each action in the gallery, or by tapping the icon on the left end of each action, and selecting Show Info from the menu that pops up.
I hope this list of default sharing actions for iOS Shortcuts provided you with what you were looking for. If you have any feedback, please leave a comment.
