    In today’s webinar with @MariSmith she mentioned that the native share button doesn’t show up if you share a link from a third party app.  If you include a photo, the share button will show.  If there is a photo associated with the link, will the share button show?

    I’ve been using Hootsuite and Buffer to post and haven’t noticed it.

    @deereinhardt Hi Dee

    Apparently Facebook has stripped out the share button for posts from third party apps. Facebook’s reason for doing this is to reduce spam.

    Although Hootsuite (and some other apps) has included it’s own share button – although these shares will not show up in Facebook’s Insights.

    Hope that helps.

    Russell
