# Share Blocks

## Overview

The share blocks allow your app's users to distribute content or information from the app across different platforms or communication channels. These blocks enable users to easily share text, images, or links via messaging apps, social media, emails, or other sharing options available on their device.

## Text to Phone Number

The "text to phone number" block opens the device's default text messaging app and populates the text message's content and phone number. It will not send a text message without the app user's knowledge.
