Description
Expected behavior
In a web browser, if you head to https://wordpress.com/media you can select multiple images at once to delete them
Here's a video:
In the iOS app, you can tap the "Edit" button at My Sites > Site > Media to select multiple images at once for deletion.
Actual behavior
In the Android app, no such button exists. Only one image can be deleted at a time, by opening them first.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
Log into any site on the Android app and head to My Sites > Site > Media
Tested on Samsung Galaxy S9+, Android 9, WPAndroid 13.3

Research direction
Start at the Android app's My Sites > Site > Media entry point and inspect how media items are selected and deleted. Compare the existing single-image deletion flow with the multi-select behavior described for the web browser and iOS app. Done means Android users can select multiple images and delete them from the Media screen.
