### Things I have tried

### What I’m trying to do

Hello,  
I primarily use obsidian on an android phone an can’t find a way to select multiple notes at the same time. I’d like to be able to select multiple notes individually to be able to delete, share or move into another folder. I searched and it seems like this wasn’t possible a few months back but it’s hard to grasp that it would be an ongoing issue but maybe I’m impatient. It just seems like a such a basic and standard functionality.
