After the iOS users, Twitter Blue has finally given the option of paying for customization of the navigation bar to its Android users. The service is limited to users in the US, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.

In a tweet on its platform, Twitter Blue announced, “Android, this one is for you—Custom Navigation is now available”.

To avail the option, the users need to go to the main menu, and tap “Twitter Blue”. Then tap “subscribe” and follow the payment prompts to complete your purchase.

The customisation feature allows the users to get rid of the Spaces icon and reduce the number of displayed tabs to as few as two.

According to The Verge, the service was tested on iOS last year and this year for Android. The new feature is a way to encourage the users to opt for the subscription model, Twitter Blue, for $2.99 / month.

Although the paid tier does offer additional features, there is still a lot of clutter on the app. Twitter is continuing to update the platform with new features.
