Share a Page Link Externally via Edge browser on Android

Microsoft Edge on Android keeps the Share command inside the More menu after the Copilot redesign. Tap it once and the standard Android share sheet opens with every installed app and recent contact ready to receive the page link.

If you want the page on a bigger screen, Send to devices pushes that same link straight to your Windows PC signed in with the same Microsoft account.

In this guide, I have covered:

Share a Page Link Externally via Edge browser on Android

Need to send a page link from Edge on Android to WhatsApp, Gmail, Messages, or another app? Tap Share in the More horizontal 3-dots icon menu and the standard Android share sheet opens with your installed apps and recent contacts ready to receive the link. No copy and paste needed.

  1. Launch the Microsoft Edge app on your Android phone.
  2. Open the page you want to share and wait for it to finish loading.
  3. Tap the More horizontal 3-dots icon menu in the bottom toolbar.
  4. Tap Share from the menu.
  5. Pick the app or contact you want to send the link through.
  6. Choose the recipient inside that app, then tap Send or Share.

Link Sharing in Microsoft Edge for Android

When you pick an app, Edge sends the link with the page title already filled in. Most social apps let you add a caption before posting, so you can share to X or Threads without a second copy step.

Send the Page Link to Your Computer From Edge on Android

Want the page to open on your Windows PC instead of your phone? Use Send to devices. Edge pushes the link to every device signed in with the same Microsoft account and opens it in Edge on the desktop.

  1. Open the page in Edge on Android.
  2. Tap the More horizontal 3-dots icon menu in the bottom toolbar.
  3. Tap Send to devices.
  4. Pick the computer you want to open the link on.

You can also send links between connected devices when signed in with the same Microsoft account. The signed-in PC shows a notification the moment Edge receives the page, and the link opens in a new tab automatically.

If you are on a Windows PC and prefer the desktop route, Edge on Windows keeps the same share flow in its toolbar. Sharing a link from Edge on Windows lists every app installed on the computer.

Why the Bottom Share Button Disappeared in Edge on Android

If you remember a permanent Share icon sitting in the bottom toolbar of Edge on Android, you are not losing your mind. Microsoft replaced that slot with Bing Chat in Edge 111 and later renamed the feature Copilot. The bottom toolbar slot now hosts a Copilot button, and Share lives inside the More horizontal 3-dots icon menu on every current build.

If you turn Copilot off in Edge settings, the Share icon sometimes returns to the bottom toolbar on older Edge versions. The More menu path still works in every current release, so it is the safer route when an update changes the toolbar layout.

Bottom Line

Tapping Share from the More horizontal 3-dots icon menu opens the Android share sheet with frequent contacts and installed apps ready to go. Edge also tucks a Send to devices command next to Share for pushing the same link straight to a PC signed in with your Microsoft account.

If the person you are sharing with uses an iPhone or iPad, the Edge share sheet on iPhone and iPad handles the same job. Pick Share there and the installed iOS apps that accept URLs appear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Share button in Edge on Android?

Open the More horizontal 3-dots icon menu in the bottom toolbar and tap Share. The dedicated Share icon that used to sit in the bottom toolbar was replaced by Copilot in Edge 111, so the More menu path is now the reliable way to share a page link.

Can I share a page link from Edge on Android to a contact in WhatsApp or Gmail?

Yes. The Share menu opens the standard Android share sheet, which lists every app on your phone that accepts shared URLs. Pick the app, choose the contact inside that app, then tap Send.

How do I send a webpage from Edge on Android to my Windows PC?

Open the More horizontal 3-dots icon menu and tap Send to devices. Pick the computer signed in with the same Microsoft account and Edge on that PC will open the link in a new tab.

Why does Edge on Android show a Copilot button where Share used to be?

Microsoft replaced the permanent Share slot with Bing Chat in Edge 111 and later renamed the feature Copilot. Share still works the same way, but it now lives inside the More horizontal 3-dots icon menu instead of the bottom toolbar.

  1. Since yesterday the amount of media options I can share with is minimal. I no longer have the option to share with whatsapp, FB Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, txt message, email. I don’t know what’s going on. Could it be an update that messed it up?

    1. That’s quite possible, Gabriela. Even I’ve read somewhere about the new update messing with sharing medium. I hope the Edge team revert these unwanted changes.
