It works the way it is supposed to, but I was expecting more. Users can attach/upload
files, but the recipient has to download the file in order to view it, even an image.
Please make it work like Facebook or Whatsapp, so when the file is attached it gets
instantly displayed on the screen. This will also serve as a preview for the user
to consider sending the file or not.
