Allow batch functions for copy , move & delete

[kevin0t]

Describe your suggested feature

Currently we have to do functions like copy , move and delete for individual contacts one by one , but it would have been much better if we could select multiple contacts at once and perform copy, move and delete functions for all the selected items.
This would save a lot of time for someone like me who is having more than 400 contacts saved.
Thanks for making this app 👍

I agree that this could be a very useful addition, most importantly if you want to move a bunch of contacts from the device to the local in-app contacts database.
I'm still thinking of how we could implement this the most user experience friendly, since currently the long press action shows the single modification options.
Either, we add a "select" option to the dropdown menu containing "move", " copy" and "delete". Or we get completely rid of the single contact actions and select contacts on long pressing which results in the " move", "copy" and "delete" options being shown as a top bar.
I'm interested on input which one others like best, I think the second way would probably be the most user friendly :)

Long-press "selecting" a contact, at which point you can take an action on that one contact or multiple if you select more is the most intuitive way to do this, in my opinion, and it will seem familiar to people, as things are done similarly on other apps.

I think the second way is the most familiar UI design to users
