Suggestions

1. Stickers

This feature allows you to send stickers instead of emojis to make chatting little more fun. we have seen this feature in lots of chatting applications like messenger,snapchat etc.
Its a really cool feature stickers are really and have been trendy for quiet some time now

Mockups / Examples

If you observe the above picture you can see the example of stickers which are really fun to use when your chatting with someone you can select the stickers available from the pack you download and start using it.

And also the app should have a sticker store where developers can add sticker set and users can download and use it.
If there is a sticker store in the app new stickers will be coming from time to time so you wont get bored of the existing ones since this app is open source there could be millions of sticker packs for this app.

Benefits

As we all know in today's world when ever we are chatting with someone if we want to make a conversation interesting sometimes we use stickers.
Using stickers is really fun way to chat because one will not get bored of sending text messages by sending stickers from time to time.
Being able to use stickers in this app would really spice up the fun. It is a really trendy feature which is widely used and people will love to see this feature in this application.
And whats more interesting? is to have a sticker market in the application where we can download stickers from since developers can keep adding more stickers on the sticker store and people will use it if they like it.
That way we wont even get bored of using the same stickers over and over again there will be new stickers added in the store from where you can download them and use it. I would love to see this feature in future.

2.Mute Chat notifications

Mute chat notifications is a feature which allows the user to mute the notification for a particular chat or group. So that your phone does not ring for unnecessary chats which you don't want to see

Mockups/Examples

The above picture is a example of a mute chat notifications feature.
As you can see from above screenshot if you hold a chat box you get some options on top right corner in which you can see a speaker option if you click that you will get options as shown above
Mute notifications for 8 hours, 1 week & 1 year. You can select any one of the options and your chat will be muted for selected period of time.

Benefits

Being able to mute chat Notifications is a really great feature and one of the most widely used feature which we are familiar with and also a very important feature in social world.
As we all know that there are many people who keeps on texting us and there are some who always keep sending us something or the other like a quote or a family newsletter or a meme all the time.
and when ever the message comes the phone rings up every time till they stop sending messages.
Which could be really annoying sometimes so for that mute chat feature would be really perfect.
Like there are groups in which we are added like friends group or college class group or family group or work group.
There will be messages coming from each group all the time which makes our device ring mostly every second till the group messages stop for a while.
To avoid such kind of unnecessary notifications we could use mute notifications and mute the groups and open and see the messages as we like without our phone ringing up every second or vibrating.
we can just mute notifications and when we open the app we can see the messages which is really helpful. Mute chat notification would be really good for this application.
I would really like to see this feature in future.
And I will try to come up with more suggestions for this application in future if I can.

Thank you
