Android Tablets cannot drag/drop tabs

[Ruq]

Steps to reproduce

Attempt to touch and drag a tab, whether to reorder or create a split, etc.

Did you troubleshoot?

Yes, I disabled all community plugins and snippets before restarting the app to test.

Expected result

Tab should drag just as it does on Desktop.

Actual result

Nothing happens.

Additional Info

Another user I spoke with on the discord stated the drag behavior works on iOS…so perhaps an Android specfic bug?

Not working on my Android based devices either: tablet, chromebook, phone(e.g. in stacked tabs).
Only working on my Windows and Linux Obsidian desktop apps.

It’s a limitation of the mobile app on all platforms, including iOS, and a very annoying one. (The user on the Discord may have misunderstood you.)

There’s a open feature request you can support here: Feature Request: Add ability to rearrange tabs in mobile app

I was the user on Discord, and I am able to reorder tabs and split groups by dragging on my iPad.

(I can’t on iPhone, which has a different interface, but we were talking about tablets.)

Interesting. So reordering tabs in the mobile app doesn’t work on iOS or Android, only on iPadOS.

I hope it comes to phones soon.

I have the same issue on my andwid tablet. I also am unable to drag tasks in the day planner app.
