Abstract
An approach is provided for improved messaging user interfaces. A subset of available messaging services is selected based, at least in part, on a touch control area of a user interface of a device. The user interface includes, at least in part, tabs corresponding to each of the available messaging services. Presentation of the user interface is caused, at least in part, at the device. The tabs presented in the user interface correspond to the subset.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- selecting a subset of available messaging services based, at least in part, on a touch control area of a user interface of a device, wherein the user interface includes, at least in part, tabs corresponding to each of the available messaging services;
- and
- causing, at least in part, presentation of the user interface at the device, wherein the tabs presented in the user interface correspond to the subset.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- select a subset of available messaging services based, at least in part, on a touch control area of a user interface of a device, wherein the user interface includes, at least in part, tabs corresponding to each of the available messaging services;
- and
- cause, at least in part, presentation of the user interface at the device, wherein the tabs presented in the user interface correspond to the subset.
A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:
- selecting a subset of available messaging services based, at least in part, on a touch control area of a user interface of a device, wherein the user interface includes, at least in part, tabs corresponding to each of the available messaging services;
- and
- causing, at least in part, presentation of the user interface at the device, wherein the tabs presented in the user interface correspond to the subset.
