Per Facebook dev documentation, the share parameter "quote" should insert text:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/share-dialog/

This seemed to be working the other week, but now even using their own testing tool ( http://www.fbrell.com/Sharing/2%20-%20FB.ui%20Dialogs?fbclid=IwAR2TX_eOex-HmIqbIfz9sakxN_laCAVVW_g6p-dW54WwVZkXQ_u5VZi8OCE ), the quote parameter doesn't seem to be inserting any text into the share dialog that pops up.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Someone from the Meta team has said "the quote feature has been deprecated". The documentation had still not been updated at that time, though.

Pretty weird for them to remove a feature with no warning or update to their documentation, then call it "deprecated" (which typically refers to a feature that still works but will be removed in the future).

same problem for me

  FB.ui({
        method: 'share',
        href: this.location,
        quote: this.description
      })

It worked a week ago, but now it doesn't. but the Facebook documentation does not mention anything about this change
