Narrative:
I was the first officer and PF while conducting a visual approach to runway 9R in atl. Approach control cleared us for a visual approach and told us to contact the tower at the OM. At 500 ft AGL, the captain (who was PNF) stated 'no flags, gear checked down, cleared to land.' after landing, when the captain took over the controls to taxi, I noticed we were still on approach control frequency and had never switched to tower frequency prior to landing. I immediately switched to tower frequency, and we were cleared to taxi to the gate.
