#### Components
SMSdroid is an open source android application, it is a light and fast app for reading and sending text messages. It is optimized to play well with any app capable of sending messages.

#### Proposal
I am proposing the addition of attach file and smiley features to the app; this is because I noticed I couldn't attach files like images, documents etc while sending message as well as adding emojis. 

#### Mockups / Examples

#### Benefits
**ATTACH FILE FEATURE:** This feature will enable the user insert external files like contact cards, images, documents such as PDF, word documents etc while sending their SMS messages. This is necessary  as users most times want to express themselves beyond words and as such will need to attach  a file to further emphasize or make their SMS expressive and pass the intended message to the recipient as intended. 

**SMILEY FEATURE:** 
 This features will help users to express themselves more descriptively, instead of using just text as a smiley goes further to indicate the writer or sender's mode while sending the message.

 It will also enhance the use of the app as users will be comfortable to chose the app as their default messaging app.
