Twitter Blue Subscribers On Android Can Now Customize Navigation Features Like On IOS
JAKARTA - Twitter Blue has finally started letting customers on Android customize the app's navigation bar. A feature, previously only available on iOS, NOW lets users get rid of the Spaces icon that sits in the middle of your navigation bar and of course, remove some of the other tabs if they want too.
With custom navigation, users can reduce the number of tabs displayed to just two, or keep all five tabs that appear by default. This is useful if users are tired of stretching their fingers over the Spaces tab just to open DMs and notifications.
Twitter first started testing tab Spaces on iOS last year and launched tabs on Android in May. This only seems to give more uncomfortable users a reason to sign up for the $2.99/month Blue subscription that launched last year.
But Blue can't save us from every feature messing up the app. Twitter announced last week that it would begin including more information in a banner showing active Spaces at the very top of a user's timeline.
While there is still no setting to turn off this banner completely, for either free twitter or Blue Twitter, it will now show who is hosting the Space, who is sharing tweets in the Space, as well as the relevant Topic.
