Order of uploaded images from iPad/iPhone

I think this is a longshot, but here we go:

When using image upload (via Safari on iPad/iPhone), users can select multiple photos at once. However, iOS only shows checkmarks when selecting, and the files are returned without any selection order.

In contrast, native apps like Telegram show numbers (1, 2, 3…) and keep the exact order the user tapped. For my use case it would be very useful if the upload order was preserved.

Has anyone found a workaround for this limitation? Seems to me like there is none, but thought it was worth a shot to ask.
I have already implemented a workaround where users can sort them after they’ve uploaded the images. Its just not ideal.

Hi Kristian, and thanks for reaching out to the community! It seems like Telegram might be using a custom file dialog to upload pictures, while we use the built-in dialog from the OS. I have no immediate solutions to this, but will leave the thread open in case other users have any suggestions.
