Description

Description:

The iOS App v4.36.0 only allows attaching one file at the time, which can be a challenge if the users wishes to send many files/documents.

Additional context
  • Operating System: iOS 16.3.1

It would be useful if RC supported attaching 10 (Like the Slack App supports) or more files/documents, so users would not have to search many times for the files they wish to send, resulting in many posts.

Research direction

Start by locating the iOS attachment flow in the React Native app and identify where the current one-file limit is enforced. Verify the existing behavior on iOS, then confirm that a user can select and send 10 or more files in a single post without repeated searches.
