Quickly Select Multiple Items in a List
While it doesn’t work everywhere yet, in several of Apple’s own apps, including Mail, Messages, and Notes, you can immediately select multiple continuous items in a list by placing two fingers on the first item and then dragging either up or down the list.
It’s a really fast and magical way to clean up your mailbox, and while it only seems to work right now in apps that use that standard style list format, we hope to see it come to other third-party apps soon.
