Is there a way to share text on facebook messenger without SDK?

Question

Is there a way to share text on facebook messenger without SDK?

I found the following method.

-(void)shareAction:(NSString *)str param:(NSString *)strTitle
{
    NSString *title = strTitle;
    NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc]initWithString:str];

    NSArray *postItems = @[title, url];
    UIActivityViewController *activityVC = [[UIActivityViewController alloc]
                                            initWithActivityItems:postItems
                                            applicationActivities:nil];

    activityVC.excludedActivityTypes = @[];    
    [self presentViewController:activityVC animated:YES completion:nil];
}

However, not just how to select Facebook Messenger among the various apps,

I want to send it directly to Facebook Messenger.

Is there a way without the SDK?

You can use UIActivityViewController to share the app using Facebook Messenger. Please check following sample URL which will display the App list which have implemented share extension.
