The original version had tabs but switched away because they took up too much room on 3.5 inch devices, and looked really weird on iPad. Zom wants tabs so we will be exploring this, at least from a code architecture angle.
Thanks. Well, I suspect, nowadays the standard size is 5+ inch :). Or 4.5 at least. Maybe the design could be a selectable option, for user's choice..
The UI used to be tabs, but part of the reason we switched away was because it was awkward on iPad.
After more of the underlying code is refactored to allow for easier UI redesign, we will explore our options.

It would be better to have a tab-style interface as in WhatsApp or Threema. With the tabs at the bottom, contacts on one tab, chats on another, and settings on a third. Plus other tabs as needed. Users are more comfortable with this UI style and it is easier for them to switch :)
