Multiple Selection & Deletion On SmsSync
Good day everyone,
For few days now, I have been running SmsSync on my android device and I have only detected and reported a bug. It’s really a nice open source project I must.

In this post I have a brilliant suggestion for SmsSync Dev-Team. I successfully ran a synchronization test a while ago then I decided to delete some few messages at once, but I got stucked , I looked for ways to delete these messages but didn’t see any easy way out. The below image is the screenshot of the messages I needed to delete
I finally found how to delete the messages. I had to tap on those icons that look like landline phone icon then select the messages I needed to delete.
It took me hours to see how I could multi delete the messages, which really lead me to make this post.
Suggestion
Q: How about if they change the Select button to something similar to a check ✅ icon?
I am suggesting they change the landline phone icon to a chick icon. For this will really look like a selection ✅ icon and not look like a dialer icon
Q: what if they entirely ignore the icons and make the selection button=long hold on messages?
Yea, it’d be really nice if this look into this option. This was the first action I took while looking for how to multi select before deleting the messages. But this option didn’t work.
I would love this option should be implemented. I have already made a graphic design how it should look like,
I believe my graphic really explained my suggestion? In the image above, when a message is held down, the color changes (which simply means the user is in selection mode, he or she can select multiple messages to delete). from the image I selected message 1 , skipped message 2, selected message 3 & 4. If I’m to delete those messages, I will simply click on the trash icon at the top.
It's really a nice way to delete items instead of using the dialer Burtons .

This things could go to lot of other apps or software.
There are a lot that use complicated thing for the simplest actions. And they are better applications but maybe with no final user testing.
