This was chosen intentionally

@t3chguy But in the mobile version it shows variants. Really helps sometimes to make a fast answer.
Or, may be it can be an option in settings.

Sure, it is up to design to pick which to go forward with and the other platforms should follow. It is unlikely a setting will be allowed for this, Design is averse to adding settings unless required.

Created a discussion for this issue: element-hq/element-meta#1032

I'll close this for now as it's likely we'll choose to go with the implementation that currently exists on Web. However, thanks for bringing this to our attention - once we've got a plan to move forwards new issues will be created to address the work needed.
