Share the content into Meal Planner
When an app supports the Android share sheet, you can send recipe text or links into Meal Planner. The importer analyses the shared content and looks for recipe information before deciding whether to build a recipe draft.
This is useful for social captions that include ingredients and instructions, as well as short links that lead to a fuller recipe page.
Know what makes a good social recipe
A strong social recipe usually has a clear title, quantities, ingredients and method steps. If the post only says “this was amazing” with no method, it may be better saved as an idea until you have more detail.
Promotional text, hashtags and creator calls to action are not part of the recipe. A good importer should keep useful cooking content and leave the noise behind.
Review before saving
Social posts can mix recipe text with comments, links and metadata. Always review the imported draft so the recipe organiser contains the meal itself, not the whole post.
If only a recipe idea is available, save the idea and return later with more details. That is still better than losing the inspiration completely.
Plan and shop from saved social recipes
Once the draft is saved, it behaves like any other recipe in Meal Planner. You can add it to the weekly planner, cook from the method and send ingredients to the shopping list.
This keeps social inspiration connected to the practical parts of family meal planning.
Common questions
Does Meal Planner need a platform-specific social parser?
The importer is designed around generic shared text and URLs rather than hard-coding one platform.
What if the share has no recipe text?
Meal Planner can offer to save it as a recipe idea so you can revisit it later.
