How to share a Google+ public post outside of the Google+ app? Most apps share their content out to other apps based on intents on the phone. The Google+ app's share feature only seems to generate another Google+ post. How can I share a  Google+ public post outside of the app from the app itself? For example, to send a link of the post to Twitter, Messenger, Facebook, etc. 

I can't believe Google would cauterize sharing from a service as important to them as Google+ when most other popular social apps can share freely among each other. Copy &amp; paste of the URL is dated and onerous on Android.
Tap the post you want to share
Open the overflow menu (three vertical dots)
Tap "Link"

You'll receive a message: "Post link copied to clipboard."

You can now paste that link to whatever sharing mechanism you'd like


Not the same as using the Android Share function, but, again, Google+ is not alone in doing this. I don't know when this function was added to the G+ app.

Of course, it only works for Public posts.
