In a SMS text, I often write "See you at the" or "Meet me at the", then I want to insert an event from my calendar with the date/time and location. I write "For help, contact", then I want to insert name(s) and phone number(s) from my Contacts list.
I want to add seamlessly the calendar event and contacts while texting ... WITHOUT having to open, switch to, copy and paste from the calendar and contacts apps.
This flow adds these features to the stock Android Messages SMS app. The flow allows you to insert ON THE FLY a calendar event, contacts and GPS coordinates in an Android Messages text, just like inserting a photo.
