I have been waiting for this for a long time 🙏

Having a look at the code, if I'm understanding this correctly, it seems to be wherever an entry in builtInMetadata.ts has a type of SettingItemType.Int set, it will use the ui component where md.type === Setting.TYPE_INT in SettingComponent.tsx. I can see that for the app-mobile SettingComponent.tsx class, it uses a React Native Slider component, while in the app-desktop varient of the class, it just uses a text input with up and down buttons, but also allow entering any number as free text without validation. I would question whether we should use the Slider component at all on mobile, considering that the desktop version does not use them, and it's not just the 'keep note history for' option that it causes a problem for, but also the 'Keep notes in the trash for' option as well.

Could we not replace the slider component with a TextInput with keyboardType='numeric' (as suggested here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32946793/react-native-textinput-that-only-accepts-numeric-characters) and then add some validation in onChanged to only allow number characters as a belt and braces if someone uses an external input device?
