Twitter Blue is now allowing Android subscribers to customise their navigation bar and icons. Before now, the feature was only available to paying iOS users, but the company is now rolling it out for everyone.
One of the most common uses of this feature is to declutter the app and make it easier to navigate. Typically, paying subscribers are able to remove the highly intrusive Spaces icon as well as other icons.
By default, Twitter now comes with about five display tabs, and as a Twitter Blue user, you can reduce them to two.
A screenshot from The Verge shows that the paid Twitter app has an additional setting option called “Custom Navigation.”

It lets users select what icons show in their navigation bar, as you can see above. However, the idea of decluttering the app may be defeated with Twitter adding a new banner that shows active Spaces at the top of your TL. Maybe it would soon roll out a feature that allows premium users to also turn this off.
The situation seems like Twitter’s attempt to make its payment service more enticing is clashing with its several attempts to keep as many people using it as possible.
This is as part of the Elon Musk-led Twitter revenue rejuvenation actions, and we are likely to see more premium-only features being ‘advertised’ in the future. The issue is that people are a lot less likely to start paying for add-ons if they have been using the free version for basically all their needs in the past. However, for celebrities, brands, and companies, the case may be different.
