Description

This pull request introduces (fixes #5488) a common feature in many chatting applications, but is not currently present in Signal. This feature allows the user to drag and drop images straight into any conversation thread. I tested this by dragging and dropping different image UTIs (pngs, jpegs, etc) along with images that are and arent sticker size (images below 512 pixels).

Test dragging into text input bar

Looking at this PR taught me that dragging and dropping images is even possible in iOS! 🤩 Seems like a pretty nifty feature to have.

Please keep open. This polish will help the app become more appealing to the youth that love using other messaging apps.
