How do I turn off automatic content sharing?

Answered by Frank Schwing

To turn off automatic content sharing, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your device. It’s usually represented by a gear icon.

2. Scroll down and tap on “Messages”. This will open the settings for the Messages app.

3. In the Messages settings, look for the “Shared with You” option. It should be towards the top of the screen.

4. Tap on “Shared with You”. This will take you to the settings specifically for content shared with you in Messages.

5. Here, you will find a toggle switch for “Automatic Sharing”. By default, this is turned on, so you’ll want to tap on the switch to turn it off. When the switch is gray and positioned to the left, it means automatic sharing is disabled.

6. If you want to turn off shared content for a specific app, you can scroll down further in the “Shared with You” settings and look for the list of apps that can share content. Each app will have its own toggle switch. Simply tap on the switch next to the app you want to turn off, and it will be disabled.

By following these steps, you will have successfully turned off automatic content sharing in Messages or disabled sharing for specific apps. This means that any content shared with you will no longer automatically appear in the corresponding app, giving you more control over what you see and access.
