Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I frequently use the “Link as Transfer” function, which only exists on the desktop layout. If this feature were brought to the mobile layout, I would be able to manage all my daily transactions entirely from my phone.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

When hold-selecting transactions, if exactly two transactions are selected, with equal absolute values, and a sum of 0, then the 3 dot menu that appears in the bottom right when selecting transactions should show a “Link as Transfer” button that performs the equivalent function as on desktop.

Teaching and learning

This feature should be mentioned as available on mobile in the docs in the same place that the desktop feature is currently mentioned. The hold-to-select transactions flow is already a little hard to discover as a user without reading the docs, but improving that would be a separate thing.
