I am trying to share both image and text in swift. but when i choose to share via facebook, messenger or whatsapp it only gives text (image is not shared). I am using UIActivityViewController for sharing.

here is my code:

func displayShareSheet(latitude:NSString?, longitude:NSString?, image:UIImage?, address:NSString? ) {
    let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [(latitude as NSString?)!, (longitude as NSString?)!, (image as UIImage?)!, (address as NSString?)!], applicationActivities: nil)
    presentViewController(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: {}
)
}

Below is UIActivityViewController code is working for me. also attached screen shot for both the methods. 

 func shareImage() {
            let img = UIImage(named: "SoSampleImage")
            let messageStr = "Ketan SO"
            let activityViewController:UIActivityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems:  [img!, messageStr], applicationActivities: nil)
            activityViewController.excludedActivityTypes = [UIActivityTypePrint, UIActivityTypePostToWeibo, UIActivityTypeCopyToPasteboard, UIActivityTypeAddToReadingList, UIActivityTypePostToVimeo]
            self.presentViewController(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
        }

Alternative Using SLComposeViewController : 

func share(){
        let img = UIImage(named: "SoSampleImage")
        let composeSheet = SLComposeViewController(forServiceType: SLServiceTypeFacebook)
        composeSheet.setInitialText("Hello, Ketan!")
        composeSheet.addImage(img)
        self.presentViewController(composeSheet, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
