okay, thanks for your insights :)

Well, that was intentional to allow users to chat with this person without having to answer the contact request (yet).
The new chat view will show a floating warning that this contact has an open contact request.

That said, the contact requests view has a button to open a chat without accepting or rejecting the request, too. So opening the contact requests view would be a possible option, too.

What do you think is better (taking in account the planned floating warning)?

I think it makes more sense to take you to the contact requests view. That's more natural, especially since we have a proper view for contact requests.

It's still possible to chat without answering the contact request by

• clicking the button that does so in the contact requests view
• accessing the chat directly from the Chats view, assuming you or your potential contact already sent a message to the other

The planned floating warning will still be beneficial, as it'll remind the user to add the other person to their roster, so they can have a better experience (A/V calls, presence etc.)
