Last week Twitter updated its iOS app with a lot of new features including the ugly black Quick Bar above the timeline. After a massive response Twitter has changed the behavior of the Quick Bar (trends bar) in the latest update 3.3.1. In the latest version Quick Bar doesn’t overlap the tweets in timeline, it has been fixed at the top of the search bar. Means you will only see the Quick Bar when you are at the top of timeline and not when you are scrolling down the tweets.

Still if you aren’t happy with this change then simply install the Twizzler tweak to completely remove the Quick Bar (trends bar).

What’s new Twitter 3.3.1 for iOS:

• Fixes crashing some users have been seeing on launch and with location services
• Updated Quick Bar default behavior to not overlap tweets in timeline
• Improved performance for users with many accounts
• Security fixes
