Hello, I am new to Glide and I am creating a contact list, by default Glide places the categories as the initial screen, but I do not need categories (so I deleted it) and I want the contact list screen to appear when they open my application directly, how can I do that please?
Thank you.
PS: I have seen tutorials on YouTube, but they seem to be from an older version, because I can’t find the same options anymore. Thank you.

The first tab in your list of tabs will be the first one that opens. If you want the Contacts tab to be the first one that’s visible when you open the app, then drag them Contacts tab to the top of the list in the tabs panel in the upper left panel of the builder.
