When a user selects a tab, the destination reflects the user's previous interaction with that view. For example, if a list of contacts was previously scrolled during the app session, the scroll position is retained when the user returns to that tab.
In the Recents and Contacts views, users can navigate to a lower-level detail view for each contact, as described in Navigating contact details. In detail view, the app bar is replaced by an app header with a back button for returning to the top-level view.
