    As an Android user why does an arrow out of a square signify sharing something?

    It’s sending something outside of your device (the box).

      Like a phone call or a text?

      The universal symbol for “input” on a TV remote is the opposite, a box with an arrow going in, simply because there can only be one source at a time

      Two arrows makes more sense in the context of sharing

        Why? Are you sending it to two people?
