Description

it should be possible to delete photos/videos or any other attachments from the conversation (like it's possible for messages since v11).
A "deletion" must be handled identically like in the web app (probably it's only an "unshare"..?).

initial assessment: technically this may require modification of other libs to support on-long clicks on the attachments. It may makes sense to evaluate whether the current use of the libs can be done in other ways

Research direction

Start by tracing how attachments are displayed and how message deletion has worked since v11, then compare the web app's handling to determine whether deletion means unsharing. Check whether the current libraries expose long-click handling for photos, videos, and other attachments. Done means attachments can be removed from a conversation with behavior matching the web app.
