Identify navigation customization mechanism in the Salesforce Mobile App
In modern Salesforce Mobile App experiences, mobile navigation mirrors the tabs defined in the active Lightning App available to the user.
Lightning Apps allow setting supported form factors (Desktop and Phone) and defining navigation items specific to functional roles.
2

Create tailored custom Lightning Apps with 'Phone' form factor enabled, and customize the tab bar items for field sales versus executive managers.
Assigning distinct Lightning Apps to separate user profiles ensures each group receives a customized mobile navigation menu.
