How to add more than 4 quick action items in UIApplicationShortcutIcons(3D touch) in iOS Application

Question

I am working on 3D touch features in iOS. I want to add more than 4 shortcut items. I go through apple documentation which states that

iOS 9 displays up to four Home screen quick actions for your app

But the soundhound application is showing 5 items(more than 4 items) in their application. So I am very curious to know how soundhound is achieving the same thing. I tried to add all the items dynamically but it reject the last one in the array. I also tried to add static items in info.plist but the same result.

Any help is highly appreciable.

I am adding the screenshort of the sound hound application just for the reference.

Last one looks like sharing button. Maybe it's some special kind of button? Beside that - no idea. — Adam Pietrasiak, Jan 23 '17 at 15:48
The last one is added by the OS to all apps you download from the app store, you can add 4 of your own. — dan, Jan 23 '17 at 16:29
So after releasing my app with 4 different shortcut items, iOS has added 5 "share" option automatically. — Sahil Mahajan, Jan 31 '17 at 09:39

You can add only upto 4 Shortcut Items (static/dynamic).

The Share <#AppName#> will be added default if the application downloaded from appstore.
