Please provide more detailed instructions for Mac users to disable the “Share text to WhatsApp” prompt when selecting text:

“Share text to WhatsApp” prompt appearing in “quick actions” when selecting text

I want to keep using quick actions when selecting text; I only want to remove the WhatsApp prompt from the available quick actions.

I'm using Acrobat Pro in "Classic" View mode.
Version 2026.001.21745 | Unified App | Licenses: Acrobat Pro
MacOS 15.7.7

I've disabled "Show 'Send to WhatsApp' shortcut" in Settings > General :

Acrobat Pro Settings > General. “Show Send to Whatsapp” option is disabled.

I tried editing “~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist” using the free Prefs Editor app: https://apps.tempel.org/PrefsEditor/

All keys containing “WhatsApp” in com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist

There's no value or key containing "EnableThirdPartyWhatsappShare", however there are keys that contain "WhatsApp". I set both of the following values to "NO"
WhatsAppShareShortcutEnabled > Item 1: NO
ShareToWhatsAppCardEnabled > Item 1: NO
This didn't have any effect.

Please provide the exact key and value to change.

I'd appreciate any help to remove this distraction.

Thank you

Please provide the solution to Windows users as well.

The WhatsApp button is not a necessary feature. They made it so big in a way you keep hitting it

Hi @Chesser1408

Hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out. Please try updating the Acrobat application to the latest 26.001.21771 Planned update, Aug 01, 2026 release, and reboot the computer once done, and see if that helps.

Let us know if you still experience the issue
