Add “Select All” to Messages App

• /e/ version: 3.0-t
• Device model(s): beyond2lte

Summary

Add a Select All feature in the Messages app to simplify bulk deletion or management of conversations.

Description

What is the current behavior?

The Messages app requires users to manually tap and hold each individual conversation to select it for deletion or other actions. There is no Select All functionality, making bulk actions cumbersome.

What is the improved behavior?

Introduce a Select All button:

• Appears after one conversation is selected,
• Or available by default in selection mode,
• Mimicking the behavior found in the Files app.

What does it bring?

• Simplifies message management,
• Saves time during cleanup or migration,
• Aligns with common UX patterns in Murena apps.
