AddThis plugin can not exclude services in mobile tool box

I have implemented the addThis share box following their instructions. I would like to only include the following services in the share tool box which works fine on the desktop browser but is simply ignored on mobile, which means that every service is shown on the mobile version of the share box.

Anyone else encountered this issue? What can be done to fix it?

<script src="https://s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="share_btn">Press me to test sharing!!!!</div>
<script>
var addthis_config = { 
    services_expanded: 'facebook,twitter,email,tumblr,link,sinaweibo,whatsapp'
}

$(".share_btn").on("click", function () {
    addthis.update('share', 'url', 'http://google.com');
    addthis_sendto('more');
});
</script>

Good question! Unfortunately, AddThis was a fly-by-night operation, and they have ceased operation as a social-sharing service. If you go to their website now, and check the main page, you'll see that they are now a development company selling a list of links to social share sites.

In fact, this is the headline you will see at the addthis.com website if you visit it right now:

Free Website Tools

And, in addition:

AddThis is known for our beautifully simple share buttons.

This is interesting. A site that was once a social network, but now is selling services for other social networks. To add to the misfortune, all of their demos appear to be blank, lorem-ipsum html pages.

I would not say that this is a reliable service to be implementing at the moment!

I maintain a social sharing URLs GitHub project! We USED to implement AddThis, but our testing suite caught this bug and we have since removed it from our project. Want certainty and reliability along with your social sharing? Then check us out! GitHub: Social Share URLs.
