YouTube revives a Share menu extension for uploading videos from other apps
Google has updated the mobile YouTube app with support for the systemwide Share menu on iPhone and iPad, making video uploads easier.
YouTube for iOS v19.47.7 brings back a native sharing extension that permits you to upload a video to YouTube from other apps. This feature was present in older app versions, but Google removed it without explanation in 2018.
This has nothing to do with the sharing options within the app that enable you to share YouTube video links with people, apps and devices. YouTube supports uploading videos in your Photos library from within the mobile app. But now, you can also upload videos to YouTube from other video apps via the multi-purpose Share menu.
You can again upload videos to YouTube from other apps via the Share menu
The YouTube option will appear in the Share menu for compatible apps on your device (those that handle video) after you’ve updated your copy of the app to the latest version. To update manually instead of waiting for automatic updates, which can take days, open the YouTube page on the App Store and hit the Update button.
The YouTube option may be hidden in the Share menu, but you can show it by swiping the list of apps to the left and choosing the More option. Here, choose the Edit option from the top-right corner and hit the + (plus) sign next to YouTube in the Suggestions section.
Doing so moves the YouTube option to the Favorites secretion, where you can drag it to the top so it’s immediately visible whenever you access the Share menu.
After a video has been imported to YouTube, you can use the built-in creative tools to edit it and share it to YouTube Shorts. Vertical videos shared via the share sheet are automatically published on YouTune Shorts.
Landscape videos are uploaded as standard YouTube videos, but you can hit the option labeled “Edit into a Short” in the top-left corner (when choosing a video segment to share) to convert the landscape video into the Shorts format.
