Description

When receiving a message with an image, it would be nice to have the image transferred to InfiniTime so it can be seen on the watch too.

Now images happen to be rather resource-intensive (when compared to the hardware we got), so some quality-reduction/compression will be necessary I think.

As for storing the (currently up to 5) images, the RAM is too limited I guess, luckily we got access to the external storage the other day, so it may be cached there. I wonder if the "constant writing" to it wears it down quickly though (a friend of mine wrecked an ESP8266 after a few days by periodically, but rather often writing small amounts of data to it).

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating notification handling, image transfer, and external-storage support in InfiniTime, then verify the hardware constraints. Done means images can be compressed, transferred, cached, and displayed on the watch without unacceptable storage wear.
