As you can read both DM's and Channel messages in the "Channels" tab, I think "Messages" (or "Msgs" for short) might be a more logical name for the tab.

Version: v8

correct, in the meantime this make sense - i will change the Channels to Msgs which fits better for different screen sizes!

So now you need a way to manage Channels - perhaps a new Page under Mgmt?

My idea was to only change the label of the tab, nothing else. So no functional changes and no new management pages needed..

Still need a way to logically manage Channels vs Messages. If Tab is now Msgs need a sub Page for Channel management.

You can have DMs per node that aren't part of any Channel management.

Already suggested ability to Add/Delete Public, Private, Hashtag Channels and that needs it's own Management interface and Channel List (no DMs) so you can tap on a Channel to see all msgs.

No different than MC apps

We might be talking about different things.
Tabs:

Contacts (unchanged)
Channels (renamed to "Msgs")
- DMs (unchanged, switch to Channels with arrows)
- Channels (unchanged, switch to DMs with arrows)
Map (unchanged)
Mgmt

So you can still access both DMs and messages in Channels like you do right now.

If you are talking about a new feature to add and remove channels (the Public channel, hashtag channels, private channels), then yes, that might be a great new feature, but I think you already mentioned that in a separate issue :)

Yes I see < > switches between Channels and DMs and that's logical (I'll explain in User Guide)

So we need a Channel Management Page to add/delete which should live under Mgmt Tab

Update: User Guide updated
