You will be able to customize your Twitter app navigation bar soon

Twitter has recently been testing lots of new features and options for the mobile app in order to make it a more useful experience. Now, app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi has discovered the social media platform will be getting another feature to its mobile app: navigation bar customization, reports 9to5Mac.

You will be able to customize your Twitter navigation bar

According to Paluzzi, who is known for discovering hidden features or features in the works for social media apps and other social networks, you will be able to customize the navigation bar on the Twitter app, but you cannot have fewer than two tabs or more than five (home + five custom tabs).

Currently, the navigation bar on the Twitter app shows Home, Search, Notifications, and Messages icons by default. However, new features such as Spaces and Communities are making the navigation bar feel a bit crowded. With the new customization option, you will be able to choose which ones you want on the navigation bar. This feature is currently under development and is not yet available to the public.

Additionally, you will be able to have tabs to access Lists, Bookmarks, Profile, and Monetization. The Home icon will reportedly be the only one of them that is mandatory and cannot be removed or replaced with something else.

However, there is a possibility this new customization option will not be available to all users, but according to Paluzzi’s findings, it could be reserved for people with subscriptions to Twitter Blue. Twitter Blue costs $2.99 per month and gives you access to additional features on the app.

The app researcher has not given any details about the official rollout of the feature yet.

New features and features in the work for Twitter

Twitter has been investing a lot of effort recently in developing new features for the popular social media platform. It has also been releasing some interesting and quite useful features as well.

Recently, we reported on the now publicly available possibility for every user to host a Twitter Space. Spaces is a relatively new feature, launched at the beginning of the year when apps like Clubhouse were gaining traction, and it allows you to host an audio conversation with your followers. Before the recent update, hosting a Twitter Space was a feature reserved for those of you who had more than 600 followers, but now anyone can host a Space, irrelevant of how many followers they have.

This feature is currently rolling out to users on Android and iOS.

Twitter heated convo warning feature

Among the other useful features that Twitter users will be getting is an interesting heads-up warning when a conversation on Twitter is getting heated. This feature aims to transform the social media platform into a better place to have open and useful conversations and to remind people to behave like people despite the fact that they are online. Additionally, further improving the experience on Twitter is the Safety Mode feature, which can automatically restrict accounts if it determines they are being potentially harmful to you. The Safety Mode feature is currently launched to a limited group of people with a wider rollout planned for some time in the near future.
