The available share targets are not specified here; they are provided by the user agent. They could, for example, be apps, websites or contacts. # Status This document was published by the [Web Applications Working Group](https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/webapps) as a Recommendation using the [Recommendation track](https://www.w3.org/2021/Process-20211102/#recs-and-notes). W3C recommends the wide deployment of this specification as a standard for the Web. A W3C Recommendation is a specification that, after extensive consensus-building, is endorsed by W3C and its Members, and has commitments from Working Group members to [royalty-free licensing](https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy/#sec-Requirements) for implementations. Future updates to this Recommendation may incorporate [new features](https://www.w3.org/2021/Process-20211102/#allow-new-features). This document was produced by a group operating under the [W3C Patent Policy](https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy/). W3C maintains a [public list of any patent disclosures](https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/webapps/ipr) made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent.

The group decided to update the Web Share API spec to make Permissions-Policy HTTP header optional. If that situation changes in the future, we will update the spec accordingly. # Issues addressed All the outstanding issues for Web Share API were resolved, the https://github.com/w3c/web-share/issues/108 in the repo is just for advisory. # Link to internal AC Review results https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/PR-web-share/results # Formal Objections The proposed Recommendation review resulted in 1 Formal Objection and a few suggested changes.
