Research direction

The payload names no files or entry points, so begin by finding where the app defines its Favorites and Contacts tabs and the Manage shown tabs setting in the Kotlin codebase. The issue offers two designs (favorites pinned above contacts, or a new combined tab), so settle on one with a maintainer before coding. Done means the chosen layout shows favorites above contacts with search working across both, and the tab-visibility setting still behaves correctly.

Feature description

Please add option to merge favorites into contacts tab, with favorites will be listed above the contacts. Or maybe, a new "Contacts with Favorites" tab that can be checked on Manage shown tab while unchecking both the current "Contacts" and "Favorites" tabs. *See Google Contacts for comparison.

Why do you want this feature?

Faster to call favorites, and switch between contacts and favorites.

I know that you can set favorites tab as the default tab to open at app start, but when you want to call one not in favorites, you have to switch tab again. It is just more convenient to just swipe down past the favorites (or directly search for it) on a single tab, without having to switch tab.
