In google messenger when I tap on a conversation and am sending or reading a text they have the contact pic right next to their messages. It makes it super easy to see who you are messaging specifically and helps to make sure you never send someone else the wrong text when you see their face right there. I really hope you add this and not just have the contact pic only when you first open the app and then no pic on individual message threads. Seems like such a simple feature that most other sms apps have so not sure why this has not been implemented yet.
