I am doing some cleanup while sitting on the bus (on my way to dc for a few days! Woo!) and noticed there is no way to select multiple messages for bulk action.

No way to select multiple messages for bulk action on mobile view
Users are reporting an issue with the mobile view of Discourse, where it is not possible to select multiple messages for bulk actions such as archiving. tobiaseigen initially reported the issue and provided a screenshot. jomaxro was able to reproduce the issue, and tobiaseigen followed up to confirm that the issue still exists.
Mittineague suggested that this might be an âAdmin actionâ not meant to work on mobile, but tobiaseigen argued that the interface feels buggy with the select/select all button showing on mobile.
tobiaseigen further emphasized the inconvenience of not being able to bulk archive messages on the go, especially for group inboxes with dozens of messages. ibbybenali also reported experiencing the same issue.
However, awesomerobot has since merged a pull request to enable bulk select on mobile, which will be available in future updates. tobiaseigen expressed gratitude for the fix.

Do you mean multiple PMs on mobile?
Yep. That is what I mean.. was I not clear? That list in my screenshot should have tick boxes next to the messages.

I can repro. The checkboxes are not appearing.

FYI this problem still exists.
Isnât this an âAdmin actionâ and similar to the Admin pages not meant to work like it does in desktop in mobile?
This may be true but then the select/select all button above message lists should not be showing on mobile. As it is now the interface just feels buggy.
Or, and this would be my preference, Iâd like to be able to select some messages and archive them on the go.

I just tried this again today and found that itâs still not possible to bulk archive messages via mobile. I donât know about others but to me itâs inconvenient - I get dozens of messages in my group inboxes and it becomes overwhelming if I donât stay on top of it.. which would be an easy task on mobile when on the go.
Maybe you are waiting to do it at some point in the future together with improving the bulk update options for messages generally? If that is going to take longer or is not a priority, then would it be possible to fix this now?
Same issue here. Would love to see this solved.
