Thank you very much to all of you that answered to my question.

With your answers I realized I have to use a Shared Extension. I have found a really nice video that explains how I have to handle the received information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBC2m8BbcCE. Maybe it could be useful for somewhere in the future.

In your Xcode project, go to file > new > target and select "Share Extension".

Your Share Extension is the extension that will provide an option in the share sheet inside other apps.
