iii. There are a few possible reasons why link sharing may not be working as expected:

- Link permissions - The content you are trying to share may have link sharing disabled by the owner. Check the page or site settings.

- Broken link - The link itself may be broken, redirecting to a 404 error page. Test the link to make sure it works.

- Platform restrictions - Some social networks like Instagram don't allow clickable links in posts. Users have to paste links in bios.

- Blocked domains - The domain you are sharing may be blocked from certain platforms like email providers due to security policies.

- Privacy settings - Users' privacy settings may prevent them from having posts with links being publicly viewable. Links only work within private connections.

- Rate limiting - Social platforms may limit or block users or domains sharing links at high volumes to prevent spam.

- Deprecated APIs - Your sharing tool may rely on old APIs that networks have deprecated or changed, breaking functionality.

- Not mobile-friendly - Shared links may not render well on mobile, discouraging clicks. Ensure responsive mobile experience.

- Unappealing content - People won't share links to content they don't find valuable, interesting or relevant to their audience.

Testing the full sharing experience across different platforms and troubleshooting any issues can help improve link sharing capabilities.
