As tim mentioned above, I have been working on this for the clock app and have proposed a merge. The behaviour and UI can be seen in https://imgur.com/a/zopnJ for different cases. Hope this helps with the implementation in other apps.

Open Messaging app (or Address Book app, Phone app), make sure you have a list in your messages view 2. Long press on any of the list items Actual Result: 3. Header is changing and shows an X button on the left hand side and two action buttons on the right hand side. Selection checkboxes appear from the left hand side. Expected result - desired solution: - The header should display a BACK button instead of the "X" on the left hand side, same as we have in all other headers - Remove the change in the background colour when a list item is selected, change in the colour of the checkbox is enough - Add labels for all visible actions in this mode in the header, including BACK for the back button - Tapping on the BACK in this mode, cancels the multi-select mode and does NOT navigate back to the previous view - There is no title in this header Please see attached wireframe for reference. This change applies across all apps which use a multi select in their list views.
