An approach is presented for interacting with a messaging user interface. A presentation is caused, at least in part, of a messaging user interface associated with one or more messaging services at a device. Presentation of a user interface element providing a link to one or more communications sessions corresponding to the messaging services is caused, at least in part. Selection of the user interface element causes, at least in part, presentation of representations of the communications sessions as one or more overlay elements on the user interface.

Method and apparatus for providing a messaging interface

An approach is provided for improved messaging user interfaces. A subset of available messaging services is selected based, at least in part, on a touch control area of a user interface of a device. The user interface includes, at least in part, tabs corresponding to each of the available messaging services. Presentation of the user interface is caused, at least in part, at the device. The tabs presented in the user interface correspond to the subset.
