Feature description

Multiple contact selection when starting a new message

Why do you want this feature?

Hello,
I am using your application and I am really delighted with it. There is a feature that used to exist on Samsung Messages 2019, but doesn't seem to appear in any current messaging apps:

• Being able to select multiple contacts right from the start when drafting a new message.

Currently, if I want to send a message to two contacts, I tap the message / "+" icon, and in the "Add a contact" field, I choose the first person. This automatically takes me straight to the text input area. If I want to add another contact, I have to tap the three dots menu and select "Add a person".

It would be much more convenient if: Tapping the message / "+" icon and doing a long press in the "Add a contact" field allowed us to switch to a multiple selection mode.

Thank you in advance if you can implement this feature.Best regards,
