Instead of displaying phone number, better would be to display phone number type, as it is in Phone:

It's better if you have ability to choose one of these options

I think that's why people use contacts and set which phone is mobile, work etc. to not have to think what's the number when they see it. I don't see any reason to see phone number instead of "Mobile", "Work"... And that's what really is missing in the app, now I have to manually change conversation name to know with which number of the person I'm having a conversation. From an UX point of view, I don't see any reason to have a choice between displaying number type and the number itself, sounds a bit unnecessary.

And if you want to check the number of the person you're sending messages to, you can go to Conversation Details and there's the number. And as a temporary solution, you can change conversation name there.
