Only because none of the messaging apps have implemented it yet. As someone who uses their phone for messaging 70% of the time, I actually missed it from Android and am happy to see it come to iOS.

I use WhatsApp for 99% of my messaging. I’d be happy with the new share sheet row if it could be configured to show me my common WhatsApp contacts. But because it’s Messages only, it only shows people I very very rarely want to contact.

It’s not Messages only, WhatsApp just hasn’t implemented it yet.

When WhatsApp get round to implementing it, will I be able to turn it off for messages?
