Use the image of canvas block. Then. Use that block in the share image block. ---

That looks right. What is the value of the green `error` block? You can display it using a label. ---

Are you testing it on a mobile device? What type of device? I ran this in Thunkable Live on my iPhone 11 and it worked perfectly: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/7/a7aa9c1feb7313d7a9df8ebcdf914e73c4f50a99.png) ---

Here’s a simple demo project: [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/555ff5d93c20a0d493b2e5d8657ef1e8](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/555ff5d93c20a0d493b2e5d8657ef1e8) And the output after I draw something with my finger and then tap the Share button: ![IMG_21CFD0A058D6-1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/3/33dd770db7955ef3e5cd1c2eb22a0f451e5dd3d1.jpeg) ---

I know it’s a silly question but… are you able to view a photo on your phone (not within Thunkable) and share it? The Thunkable Share Image block is using the built-in sharing function so I’d check that first. Does the demo project I posted work on your phone? ---

Hmm… I’m not sure what to suggest. I don’t have an Android device to test this on but I would assume it should work. ---

Thanks, @muneer. Turns out this is a known bug (see the last comment): > > > \### Platform > Thunkable Live, version 254 > > \### Issue/Request Origin > I use dat…a viewer to show my image, I insert the image using airtable. Then I use share component and I add some blocks.
