    The Issue

    For users in regions that don’t use common currency symbols, like myself (I’m from Brazil), whenever I open a new instance of the application and need to format a monetary value, I have to manually search through the long list of "All Currency Symbols" for the correct format for my region. After performing the first formatting, this option is temporarily available in the "Common Currency Symbols" section, but only until the application instance is closed. If I open it again in the future, I’ll have to manually search for the symbol again.


    Possible Solutions

    1. Make the dropdown searchable
    2. Allow users to save their most used currency symbols and display those at the top of the list
    3. Show at the top of the list the currency symbols that are compatible with the application's language

    Excellent!This problem is part of my daily routine as well. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a native solution to solve the problem either.I hope they accept your suggestions.

    EDIT:After the first formatting, the selected option actually stays temporarily available in the "Recently Used" section, but does not persist if the application is closed.
