Description

**Describe the bug**
Unlike all the other clients (Web, Desktop Web, Android), Element for iOS does not allow viewing message date anyhow. At most only time is accessible.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Go to any conversation view
2. Tap and hold on a message
3. Message date will be nowhere to find

**Expected behavior**
At step 2 I expect full message date and time to be visible somewhere on the screen similary the Android version. For the iOS UI the most reasonable place will be the bottom of the screen or an extra entry in the "More" menu.

**Smartphone (please complete the following information):**
- Device: iPhone / iPad
- OS: iOS / iPadOS 14.3
- Browser Safari
- Version 1.1.3 (latest available)

**Additional context**
Believe this to be a regression after timestamps were reduced in size for better look some while ago.
