So what? Kind of confusing.

It looks to me like the first quoted sentence is just poorly worded. I think it’s saying you should *use a UIActivity subclass* if you want to provide custom services.

Note that UIActivity is described in the documentation as an abstract class, so I doubt there’s any use-case where you’d instantiate one literally of that class.
