Shorten url and share in react native

Question

I want to share a url like an anchor tag ( for example it should display click here and on clicking it should take us to a url) across apps(whatsapp, fb, insta etc)in react native. Currently I am using react-native-share library. Is there any way to achieve it.

react-native provides a way for your app to open url's (which may trigger the opening of an app via deep-links like: whatsapp://url):

Linking.openURL(url).catch(err => console.error('An error occurred', err));

Check source.
