[Bug 1474292] Re: [address book] + [messaging-app] Can't select multiple recipients from contacts

 

** Description changed:

  It's currently quite tedious to send messages to many contacts. You need
  to select them one by one from the contacts list and go back'n'forth
  between the contacts list and the messaging page.
  
  Steps:
  * bottom-swipe for new message
  * tap on contacts
  * long-press on a contact
  
  Expected:
  * can select multiple contacts
  
  Current:
  * nothing happens
  
  For contacts with multiple numbers, the item should probably expand on
  selection to show the available numbers with checkboxes next to them,
  preselecting the preferred number or mobile, if none is marked
  preferred.
  
  Adding contacts app as sending a message from the contact selection menu
  could be an option, too.
