Add GitHub Mobile steps to "Applying a label" #46880
Description
Code of Conduct
- I have read and agree to the GitHub Docs project's Code of Conduct
What article on docs.github.com is affected?
What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
"Applying a label" only covers the web UI (the right sidebar). There are no steps for GitHub Mobile, and the GitHub Mobile article does not cover labels either. On the iOS app the labels are behind a small info button next to Comment, which is hard to find. Tapping Edit on the issue body opens the text editor instead.
Additional information
Steps I confirmed in GitHub Mobile on iOS (November 2026):
- Open the issue.
- At the bottom of the screen, next to Comment, tap the info (ⓘ) button.
- Next to "Labels", tap Edit.
- Tap ⊕ next to a label to add it, or ✕ next to a selected label to remove it.
- Tap ✓ to save.
I have not checked Android. I will open a pull request with these steps.

@oakuti Thanks for raising an issue and a PR about this. Since this needs verification on the Android side, and we'd normally add content for GitHub Mobile in quite a specific way (with a unique environment) rather than the way your PR proposes, I'm going to close your PR out and mark this to fix internally. I realise that probably wasn't the outcome you were hoping for, but we appreciate your raising this, and your interest in the GitHub Docs—thank you.

Thank you for opening this issue! Updates to this documentation must be made internally. I have copied your issue to an internal issue, so I will close this issue.
