Please remove tracking ("...?igsh=...") when sharing links. #8

Description

@cw2k

Bug #1
MyInsta still attaches that nasty ...&igsh=... aka "SharedID" to each link I share:

For example, instead of just
https://www.instagram.com/catcowfestival
I get that:
https://www.instagram.com/catcowfestival?igsh=MW1zMTJua25wYnkzeA%3D%3D

That igsh has no real value - it's just there to spy on us.

I speculated it's actually containing not the payload data itself, it's just an unique reference to it.
It's an index to some of Meta internal tracking record that may log who created that link, and when, who clicked it and when and stuff like that.

Bug #2
'Repair' "Share"
Share is no real sharing dialog it just offers to choose between Meta, Meta and another Meta product.
There is no Telegram or Signal in that list.

Maybe can you make myInsta show a 'real' sharing dialog instead of meta's faked one.

#3 Could you please share youe decompiled source code of Instagram here?
Even if it gets outdated quickly I'll be helpful.
I just open the apk in JEB and fired up the new reverse enginieering AI to rename all the classes methods and stuff...
