NOT TESTED ON IOS

The older Feather icons were directly taken from Pixelfed and didn't have filled versions.

I didn't know how to make webUI icons work in expo, so I used the material community icons since it has filled icons & look similar to the icons of loops.video.
I know there's already a lot of different icon fonts used haha, you should choose one to adopt or import a new one to the app or it will never look consistent.

I made the colors softer, following the same theme as loops webUI so it should look cleaner.

I replaced the profile tab icon by the avatar of the user, and added an outline when focused.

The create tab icon has been replaced by a plus, but i'm not sure if it's a good icon since while you can directly upload a video from the gallery, it takes you directly in camera mode.

The outline is slightly bolder.

I would have increase the height of the bar because the tabs are really close to the navigation bar of android (with the 3 buttons) but it would overlaps with the video player.

Let me know what do you think about this !

I added an outline and border radius to the bar, I thought it looks cool and matches with the rest of the app. Feel free to remove it if you think it's out of place.

I got farther into reproducing the tab bar from Loops Web

I enabled labels for tabs, added a singular style to the create button and I adjusted the border of the profile picture.
I also added phone's safe areas to the calculation of the height, so it should always be at the right position. You can see it in action with the gesture & 3 buttons navigation.

It's still not adjusted for iOS, you should probably watch for the padding when testing.
