Twitter has reportedly acquired the screen customization application "Cover" for possible mobile presence expansion initiative.

Cover, which was launched in October, has received $1.7 million financial support from several venture capitalists, including PayPal co-founder Max Levchin and First Round Capital. It immediately hit big time in the Android world, where it attracted hundreds of thousands of users as it is very helpful and easy to use.

The app, which was co-developed by Gmail product leader Todd Jackson, lets its users make their personalized lock screen that depends on their most-used services and apps. It uses contextual awareness to know what apps and services it will display on the screen. One example is if the person is at his workplace, apps and services he will need, like Dropbox or Evernote, will be displayed on his smartphone's screen lock.

With only six months in the business, it luckily got acquired by Twitter.

On Monday, Cover announced that it has joined Twitter, stating, "It's been an incredible journey, a journey that we're excited to announce is taking a turn today as we bring the Cover team to Twitter to take these ideas even further," on its blog post.

"Twitter, like Cover, believes in the incredible potential of Android," it added. "They share our vision that smartphones can be a lot smarter -- more useful and more contextual -- and together we're going to make that happen."

The acquisition, which details have not been disclosed, will still let Android users download the app in Google Play store until an undetermined time. If ever changes will be made regarding its availability, users will be informed accordingly.

Additionally, CNET reported that the idea was favorable to venture capitalists.

Twitter's plan for the Cover is still unidentified at this time.

Both companies have remained mum on any plans they have agreed on but it seems that the screen customization app is working on something new for the social networking site's mobile platform.
