As you can see here, Instapaper is unchecked in the preferences.

However, it still shows as the primary option in the sharing menu.

For what it is worth, I actually unselected Instapaper a few days ago and I was pretty sure it disappeared from the sharing menu at that time. However this morning I noticed it was back so I checked my preferences and they still look correct. Strangeness.

I have had the same issue. Not a big deal, but did notice it.

OK, you caught me. I never implemented the hiding of Instapaper. I’m going to swap it out for email and make email something that can’t be hidden.
