[iOS] Drag and drop (tap, hold, drag) items in file explorer, outline, bookmarks does not work on mobile

Steps to reproduce

Drag and drop of files and folders has always been a two click process on iOS, first press opens a menu and second press allows drag and drop into another folder. Drag and drop has ceased working and only opens the menu. Drag and drop tested on iPad and it continues to work.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes

Expected result

The ability to drag and drop a file or folder into another folder

Actual result

The menu opens each time instead of allowing drag and drop on the second time.

I’ve been experiencing this too (including it still working on iPad); I’m not on 1.6 yet so will see how it goes then. The description of how it used to work isn’t familiar to me — I was vaguely under the impression I had to press for the right length of time or something.

Steps to reproduce

I used to be able to select-and-hold on a file, while using the phone version, to ‘select’ it so that I could then drag it somewhere else (such as into a new folder). Now, it instead opens up the menu to make a new tab, bookmark, etc.

I did the mobile alternative with restricted mode, yes.

Expected result

The file gets selected and can be dragged.

Actual result

The file opens up a menu.

Just dropping in to say I’m having the same issue on iOS 17.5.1. It worked fine and then I got a new phone and now it won’t let me drag and drop— I’ve tried all the stuff with community plugins and restricted mode and everything and it just pulls up the menu. I just sent an email to support about it (I didn’t realize support wasn’t for issues like that) but if you guys are already looking into it you can disregard it.

It’s still not working for me. :sob: Drag and drop still opens the menu.

Obviously it’s not like, urgent or anything, I’m sure you guys have more pressing issues like syncing and stuff, but just bumping to let you know that I’m still having this issue.
