Ability to select multiple photos at once by dragging to select on Mobile

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

Currently if I want to select several photos I need to click each one manually.

It would be more intuitive to be similar to Google photos and Samsung's gallery app to select a single picture then it brings up the select options for all pictures and hold the screen and drag to select multiple in all directions.

Drag and select is supported and works fine on my phone.

@bo0tzz somehow I missed that. I see drag to select is supported but drag to unselect isn't supported.

So if you accidentally select you can't unselect en masse.

Dragging over an asset selects it and dragging back deselects it as long as you do not lift your finger. If you accidentally did lift your finger, there should also be a deselect button on the top left corner to deselect everything

I think what I'm getting at is if I only want to unselect a few not all you can't drag in reverse to unselect them. That's what I'm referring to that you can do in Google photos or Samsung gallery but not immich on mobile.
