It is surprisingly difficult to do this share a page link from iPad Safari to Twitter. The best solution seems to be the Twitter Share bookmarklet, which isn’t as simple as you might expect.
How to Add The Bookmarklet
- Add this page as a bookmark by tapping the “+” icon
- Select/highlight the entire Twitter Share Bookmarklet Code below and copy the it to your clipboard
- In Safari go to your bookmarks and edit this new bookmark
- Edit the name and paste the Bookmarklet code in the field for the URL
Twitter Share Bookmarklet Code
javascript:(function(){window.twttr=window.twttr||{};var D=550,A=450,C=screen.height,B=screen.width,H=Math.round((B/2)-(D/2)),G=0,F=document,E;if(C>A){G=Math.round((C/2)-(A/2))}window.twttr.shareWin=window.open('https://twitter.com/share','','left='+H+',top='+G+',width='+D+',height='+A+',personalbar=0,toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');E=F.createElement('script');E.src='https://platform.twitter.com/bookmarklets/share.js?v=1';F.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(E)}());
This combined with the bookmarks bar option is a great way to quickly save/send any webpage you view in Safari on your iPad to Twitter.
