## Expected behavior

The avatar and name are located on the left side of the title bar.

## Actual behavior

The avatar and name are located in the center of the title bar.

## Explanation

Moving them would create more space on the right side, for example, for the future Calls icon. Furthermore, this would bring DC-iOS in line with the other versions. Most messaging apps also place them on the left.  
In my opinion, DC would benefit visually, as the avatar would always be in the same position in every chat, and wouldn’t change with the length of the name.
