Description

Screenshot 2019-09-25 at 18 01 16

When testing, I found that I sometimes even don't hit the button if the finder is slightly off target since probably the button is just too small. In the view debugger it is 18,5 x 18,5 pt and Apple's HIG suggests 44x44 pt tap targets. I think we have already UX issue on this topic but at least increasing button size would help here.

Research direction

Start by locating the multiple-selection button in the iOS app view shown in the attached screenshot and inspect its current tap target. Increase the interactive area to match the 44×44 pt guidance while preserving the visible control, then verify that slightly off-target taps activate it reliably.
