Xamarin.IOS -> How to interact with sharing to Facebook, Whatsup, etc

Question

I have an app where I wanna share some content to facebook, whatsup, mail and message. How do I interact with the native apps installed on the users phone. It would be something like the Implicit Intent for Xamarin.Android. I'm using MVVM Cross. Any help to guide me to the right direction is appreciated. Thank you,

You need to use Intents in Android and URL Schemes in iOS to accomplish this. You can find the information you need on the developer portals:

Android

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/android

iOS

What are all the custom URL schemes supported by the Facebook iPhone app?
