Profile icons inside of a text message?

[thron]

I just switched from Blackberry to Windows Phone about a month ago.
One of the features I miss from my Blackberry is the sender's icon/avatar from my address book while reading/replying to text messages.

Is there an easy way to get that back with Windows Phone? Is there an app for it or would something like that be possible to create? I've never created an app, but I'm familiar with PHP and a tad bit of javascript programming.

Hi and welcome to WPCentral.

It's been over two years since I've used a BlackBerry, so I had legacy BBOS devices, not BB10.

I'm not sure what these profile images look like. Would you be able to post a picture (perhaps something from CrackBerry)?

Found this one on the web of BBM:

Text messages and WhatsApp looked similar.
