Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be great if it could optionally view phone numbers on the main page next to the contacts. Especially useful for contacts with multiple phone numbers.
Describe the solution you'd like Next to the name would be a number in a smaller font, for example: John Doe 020 7123 4567
Describe alternatives you've considered The alternative is to leave it as it is.
Additional context
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.
