It’s strange that sharing hasn’t really gotten a universal icon like most other things have.
There should be a community for modern heiroglyphics
What’s the inscription next to it? “Donkey Repub…” ? 😁
TIL this share symbol is android specific.
As an iOS user the Android share icon makes no sense. How does that icon represent sharing? The iOS one is much clearer.
It’s actually not Android specific, but even then they all make about the same sense to me (which is not a tonne)
Icons generally dont have to make sense. The universal save icon being a floppy disk is a good example. It just needs to be recognizable.
Huh. The Apple one is new to me. It looks like an “upload” icon, which I guess makes sense.
The Android one looks like something being spread/copied from one point to two other points. Which also makes sense.
I see the Apple one as just showing that a menu will come up, it’s just visually showing what will happen when it’s pressed, and that happens to be the share menu.
I think it’s meant to show how one becomes two. One person shares… something, and then that something has doubled. I’m just used to it by now. Never really had to give it thought.
Like splitting from another cell? Or like splitting a bullet. Now 2 target can share the sweat relieve of death <3

Almost as good as the car sharing sign in Germany
Explanation: “sharing” and “cutting in two pieces” can both be translated as “teilen”
