Share Modal
Share companions and profiles with QR codes and social links.
The Share Modal gives you multiple ways to share a companion or profile with others. You'll find share buttons throughout Aura -- on companion profiles, your public profile, and other shareable pages.
What's inside the modal
When you open the Share Modal, you'll see several sections:
QR Code
A scannable QR code is generated for the share link. Anyone can point their phone camera at it to open the link directly.
- Download as SVG -- click the download button below the QR code to save it as an SVG image file. You can use this in presentations, print materials, or anywhere else.
Social sharing buttons
A row of social media buttons lets you share with one click:
- WhatsApp -- opens WhatsApp with a pre-filled message containing your link
- X (Twitter) -- opens a tweet composer with the link and title
- Facebook -- opens the Facebook share dialog
- LinkedIn -- opens the LinkedIn share dialog
- Email -- opens your email client with the link in the body
Each button is styled with the platform's brand color for easy recognition.
Copy link
A Copy button copies the share URL to your clipboard. After clicking, it briefly shows a checkmark to confirm. There's also an Open button (external link icon) that opens the shared page in a new browser tab.
Visibility picker
When you open the Share Modal for something you own (like your own companion), you'll see a visibility picker at the top with three options:
- Public -- the companion is listed on Explore and open to everyone. The QR code, social buttons, and copy link all work normally. People with an existing private link or email invite can still use them.
- Private -- the companion isn't publicly listed, but anyone with an active private link or an email invite can still find and chat with it. The QR code and social buttons are hidden in this mode; instead you'll see two management sections:
- Private Links -- generate one or more shareable links, each with its own expiry. You can copy a link, change its expiry date, temporarily revoke or reactivate it, or delete it permanently.
- Email Invites -- invite people by email. Each invite can be resent, revoked, re-invited, or deleted. Select multiple invites at once to resend them in bulk.
- None -- the companion isn't shared with anyone. Switching to None revokes every active private link and invite at once. Revoked links/invites aren't deleted -- switch back to Private to see and manage them again.
Changing the visibility picker updates the companion's sharing status in real time.
The visibility picker only appears when the share modal is opened from a context where you own the content. When viewing someone else's shared content, you'll just see the sharing options for whatever access you were granted.
