X logo reaches Twitter for Android

After changing on the web a few days ago, the new X logo and brand are beginning to appear on Twitter for Android. Marking the latest step in its ongoing rebranding efforts. The inputs also point out that the ultimate online social media platform will get a new name in the coming days.

For those in the beta channel, X rolled out version 10.0.0-beta.0. The bluebird app icon is replaced by the white X on a black background, which is also used as a status bar icon for some notifications. There is, fortunately, an updated themed icon where the X adopts your Dynamic Color theme.

The Android app today is still named “Twitter Beta,” but a dive into the APK reveals that the launcher name will become “X” at a later point in time when this change hits stable. The Play Store listing hasn’t been updated yet, while the upcoming change will send X to the end of your grid of apps.

Inside the app, X appears in the app bar of the Home feed, while the next tab offers a “Search X” hint at the top. In the navigation drawer, “Twitter Blue” has been renamed to just “Blue.”

Meanwhile, the app’s package name remains com.twitter.android. That’s unlikely to change as a new app and listing would be required, with developers usually avoiding having people download anything new regardless of the migration. Elsewhere, while x.com/[username] redirects you to twitter.com/[username], the X URL remains twitter.com. It remains to be seen whether that will change.
