These are the controllers I have in my project thus far: navigation controller, login view controller, register view controller, wall pictures view controller, upload image view controller. Where would I need to add in the tab bar controller?

you would need to use a Tab Bar/Tab Bar Controller to do that. I recommend checking out the Build A Self Destructing Message App. It goes over implementing a tab bar, adding icons etc.

you would need to add a tab bar controller to your storyboard then connect the view controllers you want as tabs to that tab bar controller. watch the first few videos in the course I linked. One of the first things that gets set up is the tab bar controller.
