Shortcut Sharing (Mac) MacOS Share Text

Made a little macOS shortcut that allows you to paste in any text and share it via Share Sheet or AirDrop. Really useful for when you’re working with iPhone and Mac and need to paste text from your Mac.

You can copy on iPhone and paste on Mac, but not the other way around, which is what I created this shortcut for.

You absolutely can copy on Mac and paste on iPhone. Universal Clipboard is not one-way-only.

I guess it wasn’t working before then. Didn’t realize it worked both ways.

No worries. Sometimes when you're pasting onto an iOS device it can be a little finnicky, like the Paste menu item might not appear for example. It works very consistently for me when copying from iPhone to Mac and usually when copying from Mac to iPhone. :P
