Related:

• Introduce long-press context menus for messages #4701
• Fix bugs when building with Xcode 13. #5422
• Add support for Apple context menus in matrix items list screens #5953
• Add support for context menus in timeline screen #5955

Hypothesis

Following Apple's HIG where possible we help people know how to navigate and use Element on iOS.

Proposal

Support context menus where people might expect them, eg

• A message in a timeline
• Room tile in a tab/home

Example Tasks

• Use Apple symbols and customise symbols where necessary

Examples

Room tile on tab

On a tab, currently a long press leads to a different background for the relevant room tile.

Message

Currently messages have the below menu

A context menu could be incorporated instead

+1 for idea Idea 2, because thats what telegram and whatsapp also do.

Removing the assignments as we're not currently working on this (and don't plan to in the short-term) however, adding labels and a +1 from a product perspective as this will be a great addition to the product

[daniellekirkwood]

In fact, the only remaining task: #5955 is this so I will mark this issue as done and apply the labels to the issue that remains.

This is also marked as done on our team delight board.
