I have been trying to figure out how to use "share payment request" over a chat app like WeChat, WhatsApp, or Google Hangouts. It sends something like this "bitcoin:1Fuz2SyLVegGhXquoigrQeczrbQjDuNzEU?amount=0.0212823" but there is no convenient way for the receiver of the message to transfer the information from his chat app to his bitcoin wallet. I suppose this is matter of the chat apps lacking functionality rather than Mycelium, but it would be nice if there were a way to take full advantage of the "share payment request" function.
The problem is likely that they do not recognize "bitcoin:1Fuz2SyLVegGhXquoigrQeczrbQjDuNzEU?amount=0.0212823" as a URI, and don't offer you to 'launch' it.

Some apps may recognize HTML anchor tags like this:
Code:
... but I haven't experimented with it.
