Day 22 Project 3: image is not being sent via Whatsapp (only image name as a text)

Forums > 100 Days of Swift

Hi!

I am implementing this code straight from the video, and when i try to send image via Whatsapp only text is being sent. At the same time i can save the image to the gallery of the Iphone with no problem.

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .action, target: self, action: #selector(shareTapped))

        if let imageToLoad = selectedImage {
            imageView.image = UIImage(named: imageToLoad)
            print(imageToLoad)       
        }
    }
    @objc func shareTapped() {
        guard let image = imageView.image?.jpegData(compressionQuality: 0.8) else {
            print("No image found")
            return
        }
        let imageName = selectedImage ?? "Saved image from Project1"

        let vc = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [image,imageName], applicationActivities: [])
        vc.popoverPresentationController?.barButtonItem = navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem
        present(vc, animated: true)
    }

Is it expected behavior or have you managed to send actual file via whatsapp without any additional code? If you have to add smth to make it work could you please share?
