Summary
KDE Connect has recently launched an SMS Messaging app for the desktop which uses KDE Connect to synchronize all the existing conversations from the remote device. In its current state, it can:-
- Show a list of existing conversations and the corresponding conversation history.
- Send and display SMS.
- Send SMS to only existing contacts and conversations on the remote device.
- Display (not send) group messages.
However, It is very limited to MMS and can only support showing text. It cannot send and display pictures, audio, video and other kinds of attachments, also it cannot reply to multi-target conversations. Considering the importance of sharing multimedia files and group messages, the SMS client becomes very limited in use. This project aims to improve MMS support with the integration of sending multi-target MMS by re-working the current implementation of sending SMS and UI support using Qt Multimedia library.
By the end of this project, SMS client will be capable of sending and receiving MMS, will be able to send multi-target MMS with the capability to view pictures, video/audio in SMS app and the capability to download other attachments (.pdf, .txt, etc.).
