Feature description

I think it would be very useful if Messages to created launcher shortcuts to frequently (or recently) accessed conversations.

Why do you want this feature?

This would make it possible to more quickly access conversations from the launcher and device-wide search tools such as MM2-0/Kvaesitso.

Additional information

A messaging app that already does this is Quik.

I think that this feature should be implemented alongside People and conversations, which is a feature from Android which allows developers with a way to integrate in-app conversations with the OS. This includes:

  • Direct Share entry (1)
  • Quick action for the app (2) (#209)
  • Built-in widget (3)
(1) (2) (3)
