How to Share Customize URLs on Any Android Device

App – URL Shortener

This is a simple and useful app which simplifies the process of creating and sharing a short URL. While it doesn’t support all the URL shortening providers, the major ones, goo.gl, tinyurl,  v.gd & is.gd are there. You can install it from the Play Store.

Step 1: Grab a copy of URL Shortener for your Android device.
Step 2: Open the app and head to Settings so you can choose your preferred URL provider (six choices), and whether you want to enable tracking. Unfortunately, you cannot set a default structure.



Step 3: When you're ready to share a link you have two options:
  • Copy the URL and paste it into the app, giving you access to structure choices, and allowing you to divert from your default URL shortening service.

  • Share the link with the URL Shortener app (listed as Shorten URL in the menu). This option will not let you choose between URL structures, but will follow your default provider choice. You'll be able to copy the URL quickly, or share it through another app.
