Feature request -Attaching multiple photos and background uploading

Troubleshooting Mobile Apps
1

On the phone app, when attaching photos to a post, I can only select 1 photo at a time.
Feature request: It would be great to be able to select multiple photos to once.

Also the photos need to complete uploading before I can click on send. This is an issue as attaching a high res photo over 4G can take about 10-15sec and we have several to send each time or longer on 3G connections.
Feature request: To allow the message with attachments to be sent in background without having to wait for attachments to complete uploading.

I’m now using
Android app version 1.39,
Server 5.31.0

Using the web browser, I can select up to 5 files to attach to a post but I still can’t do it in the android app. Is there any roadmap on implementing this in the app?

Hello, @yanuk

Multiple file uploads on mobile app is available on my end when using the 1.39.0 version on both iOS and Android. While you are unable to do a single round of multi-select of the files, you need to upload them one by one.

With that being said, may I know if you are looking at selecting multiple files in a single go instead of a successful upload of one after another?
