Bug Description
It's currently quite tedious to send messages to many contacts. You need to select them one by one from the contacts list and go back'n'forth between the contacts list and the messaging page.
Steps:
* bottom-swipe for new message
* tap on contacts
* long-press on a contact
Expected:
* can select multiple contacts
Current:
* nothing happens
For contacts with multiple numbers, the item should probably expand on selection to show the available numbers with checkboxes next to them, preselecting the preferred number or mobile, if none is marked preferred.
Adding contacts app as sending a message from the contact selection menu could be an option, too.

-------- UX resolution --------
There are wireframes and refined journeys which allow a multiple selection from the contacts. If you access your contacts from the compose view of the messaging app, it will be possible to select several entries in one go.
However, there is also the option to simply type a letter or number in the input field in the compose view. This exposes a drop down menu with proposed contacts. If a contact has two numbers, both numbers are shown as a separate list entry.

Address book app supports multiple selection already, The messaging app needs to be changed to support that.
