Research direction

Locate the message list adapter or fragment that displays the conversation list. In the ViewHolder binding logic, add a check for MMS messages and display a text label or icon (e.g., '<MMS Attachment>') when the message type is MMS. Build and run the app, then open a conversation containing MMS messages to confirm the indicator appears correctly.
