The feature

As a relatively new user, this could be my problem, but when browsing photos in Immich on an iPad or iPhone, I am constantly accidentally selecting images as I scroll and have to "x" out of that each time. It just seems to easy to accidentally select image(s). Pinching to shrink the thumbnail size of what's displayed also selects several images unintentionally. Again, must then click "x" to cancel selection.

It seems like an alternative approach might be to have a selection button at the top like other apps where you are able to enter "selection mode", select what you want, choose the operation (i.e., delete, etc) and then exit out of selection mode.

Maybe this exists already but I didn't see it in preferences or in the discussions or issues.

Awesome app, hoping to become a long-term user!
