[Bug 1474292] [NEW] Can't select multiple recipients from contacts

 

Public bug reported:

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.
