The continued ad hominem is a clear indication you don’t want to have an honest debate and rather just want to pick a fight, so have a nice day!

Hadn’t noticed it was in messaging still. Guess that’s another avenue to add more selected photos. Really b/s on them imho.

I’m particularly fond of iOS’s new “selected photos only” setting, but apps really don’t support it well in general (so I chose not to use them anymore). Instagram used to support it decently well, but in a recent update they removed the “s
