Description

Hi,

Whenever I share any URL from Marathi Wikipedia. It gets expanded into following form.

https://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%96%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%83%E0%A4%B7%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A0

How to shorten this URL? Is there any extension that User needs to Enable?

Thnaks.

What is the actual problem that you face and that you would try to solve?
Isn't this the same behavior as on desktop browsers and mobile browsers when copying the URL?

(Unrelated: On desktop there is ShortUrl available which can be requested.)

@Abhinavgarule I'm closing this bug due to inactivity and since we don't have quite enough information to know what the problem is and what you're looking for. If this is still a problem and pertains specifically to the Android app, we can potentially tag with the Android app project and reopen as a product or tech debt task.
