Sharelink in WatchOS and Messages App

I’m relatively new to SwiftUI, so I’ve got a pretty basic question here. In my watchOS app, I’m using ShareLink to share a string of text to the Mail and Messages apps. Mail shows up in the ShareLink sheet just fine, but Messages doesn’t appear.

What’s odd is that when I run the app in Xcode’s preview or in the Simulator, Messages does show up as a sharing option… So now I’m wondering if this is just a quirk with my device or if Apple doesn’t actually support sharing text to Messages from third-party watchOS apps yet? I know some Apple Watch apps (like Contacts) do support sending text/files to Messages, so I’m curious if anyone’s had a similar experience or knows more about this.

Any insights would be super helpful!
