However it is really useful, and now improves its appearance for the gallery
Has been the medium Android Police who has had previous access to this new exclusive aspect.A design that follows the guidelines of minimalism eliminating all superfluous elements. So much so that on the main screen regular users will miss the tabs that separated the contacts from the conversations or chat.
