It has been talked over and over again in this project that some apps don't support accepting text + images correctly.
You could have spent some time doing a bit of research and searching on the issues list.

As we mention in the README, this is not a package problem but a problem with those apps, and these types of issues will be closed.

Mobile platforms (Android and iOS)
Meta (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger) and similar apps

Due to restrictions set up by Meta/Facebook this plugin isn't capable of sharing data reliably to Facebook related apps on Android and iOS. This includes eg. sharing text to the Facebook Messenger. If you require this functionality please check the native Facebook Sharing SDK (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing) or search for other Flutter plugins implementing this SDK. More information can be found in #413.

Other apps may also give problems when attempting to share content to them. We cannot warranty that a 3rd party app will properly implement the share functionality. Therefore, all bugs reported regarding compatibility with a specific app will be closed.

@miquelbeltran I have spent time reading the README but there is no mention about the thing i face.
I DONT share to an app I just click on share button and don't choose an app, so the IOS built in share dialog what i'm talking about.

[miquelbeltran]

the apps listed in the share sheet are decided by the OS, not the plugin

I know but i mean why i don't see the actual text instead of "plain text and 1 document"
Thanks

I believe it is because when sharing an image and a text, for UIActivityViewController is like sharing two data items, and will display that (text and 1 document).

You can try to provide only the subject, or only the text, to see if that makes a difference.

If you can modify the iOS code, you can try to modify the implementation of the plugin when it comes to providing data to UIActivityViewController, e.g. implementing the metadata provider as shown here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58234878 The plugin doesn't support providing the metadata at the moment.
