The react-native-social-share package allows you to share content to social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. It is more focused on social media sharing compared to react-native-share, which offers a broader range of sharing options.
The react-native-share-menu package allows your app to receive content shared from other apps. While react-native-share focuses on sharing content from your app, react-native-share-menu is designed to handle incoming shared content.
The expo-sharing package is part of the Expo ecosystem and allows you to share files with other apps. It is simpler to use within Expo-managed projects but may not offer as many customization options as react-native-share.
