In the coming days, users of Twitter for Android will notice something different about the look of profiles. The app has gotten rid of the various menus and swipes required to view all there is to see on a profile. Everything — tweets, photos, favorites biographies, recommended follows, and profile editing — is on the same screen. When scrolling down on a profile, the user's header minimizes into a banner with the name and amount of tweets displayed.

The feature was announced just yesterday and all users should notice the changes quite soon.

We're rolling out new profiles on Twitter for Android: it's now easier to view bios, Tweets and photos. https://t.co/MMnvuuHaxh

Users of Twitter for Android on Lollipop devices will notice that the status bar on a profile reverts to black when viewing a profile. Normally, the status bar is blue to match the theme of Twitter.
