5. The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether the second operation is required to be performed based on the URL information of the content to be shared to view the content to be shared comprises:

determining whether the first user is in a logged-in state, wherein the logged-in state is a state after logged in with account information of the first user; and

responsive to determining that the first user is in the logged-in state, determining that the second operation is required to be performed based on the URL information of the content to be shared to view the content to be shared.

6. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

responsive to determining that the network in which the electronic device of the first user is located is not the private network and that the user is in a non-logged-in state, sending the URL information of the content to be shared to the electronic device of the second user.

7. The method of claim 4, wherein determining whether the first user is in the logged-in state comprises:

extracting a URL feature from the URL information of the content to be shared; and

determining whether the first user e logged-in state based on the URL feature.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein sending the screenshot of the content to be shared to the electronic device of the second user comprises:

sending the screenshot and the URL information of the content to be shared to the electronic device of the second user.

9. An electronic device of a first user, comprising:

a processor;

a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor; and

a transmitter,

wherein the processor is configured to, responsive to detecting a sharing request triggered by the first user, determine whether a second operation is required to be performed based on uniform resource locator (URL) information of content to be shared to view the content to be shared, and responsive to determining that the second operation is required to be performed based on the URL information of the content to be shared to view the content to be shared, acquire a screenshot of the content to be shared; and

the transmitter is configured to send the screenshot, acquired by the processor, of the content to be shared to an electronic device of a second user to enable the second user to view the content to be shared based on the screenshot of the content to be shared.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine whether a network in which the electronic device of the first user is located is a private network; and

responsive to determining that the network in which the electronic device of the first user is located is the private network, when a network n which the electronic device of the second user is located is not the private network, determine that the second operation is required to be performed based on the URL information of the content to be shared to view the content to be shared.

11. The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the transmitter is further configured to:

send a request message to the electronic device of the second user, wherein the request message is to request an indication whether the network in which the electronic device of the second user is located is the private network; and
