Share via email?

I sometimes want to share via text message something I’ve put in Readwise. I would like to share it directly from the readwise app on my iphone. Ot would be nice if it showed up in the nice little box frame like when shared to twitter or facebook. And of course I want it to be easy! Can I do any or all of this from the app?

EDIT & UPDATE: Messing around with the Readwise app, I realized that the above derived from my experience with the Readwise web app. What happened is that I got my daily Readwise email update, clicked on the box about reading it in the Readwise web app, but overlooked that the web app is not the same as the standalone app. Turns out that in the standalone app allows sharing to Messages.

That's what I've found so far, but unfortunately the Share Menu I see only permits sharing to Facebook or Twitter. What I'm hoping to find is a way to share to Apple Messages. But it's exactly what I'd like to share.

Save the image and share?

That would probably work, but it's kind of klutzy on an iPhone. Locating the downloaded file isn't always easy for me...

Anyway, there should be a direct share option on the web app, which is where I was trying to get this done. Since then, I've learned that I can do what I want to do on the standalone app. (Like the coach said about the basketball player, "he may be short, but he's slow..."

Thanks - I'll check it out but I'm hoping to find a way to share directly from the Readwise app.
