Bring back chat on PS5
The new update on PS5 makes you scan a QR code and forces you to chat thru your phone. Why this was implemented is beyond me. If we wanted to use our phones we would. What if a user doesn't have a phone? The update literally makes watching on PS5 pointless if you like to chat.

Twitch on the ps5 is not worth using without chat. Please bring it back in live streams and on VODs. Additionally, twitch removed recently viewed videos for easy access. Why? Also twitch added a separate page for followed streamers but can’t R1 over to it? Instead it skips over a view streams to the right when you hit R1. It’s like the devs who made this new patch don’t have a PlayStation and don’t watch twitch. All of the changes were for the negative.

I can't believe they just stripped a bunch of features, all of which I used regularly, but didn't *add* a single thing. They also removed the ability to filter streams by e.g. language. Complete disregard for the users. Like, "yeah we know it sucks now, but you just have to deal with it." Instead of laying thousands of people off, maybe don't, and then you could use all the money made from 30 second Chrome ads to maintain the app we were happily using for several years.

It is also useless if you have vision issues. I am farsighted so i need glasses to use my phone but I don't need glasses to watch TV so now in order to chat I have to keep putting my glasses on & off to see my phone. It's the dumbest thing they have ever done and excludes SO many people from chatting!

The PS5 update has compromised the user experience by removing chat, by streamlining, yet somehow making the homepage harder to find the content I'm looking for, and the UI for the videoplayer is counter-intuitive and constantly interrupts playback if any button on the controller is touched. The latest update has made the experience so frustrating that I've just deleted the app from my PS5. I don't know why features like chat, that are so integral to the twitch experience, have been removed, but the PS5 app is just useless to me now.

Chatting is not the only problem, also all controller shortcuts are gone for example pressing square to full screen, also now you can't watch the chat in vods wtf.

I have a keyboard I use with my ps5. This update is pure trash. Why not give people a choice in how they want to interact instead of removing features and forcing people to use 2 devices for 1 function? And people get paid to do this? Bunch of clowns.

I like being able to have streams play on a big screen via my PS5 so my PC is free of the strain. Now if I want to watch that way, I need another device like a cell phone to chat and the raid feature still doesn't work.

This update is awful. Where did the chat log go for VODs? How did you manage to ***** up such a basic feature of Twitch? There's no way in **** I'm using 2 apps at the same time when it worked JUST FINE with one. Uninstalling this app, what a letdown.

You have got to be trolling with this update. It makes the experience worse in every way and please at least bring back chatting from your controller if you won't roll this update back.

Why not add the ability to chat with phone instead of MAKE you chat with phone…braindead. Also why is there no longer chat for vods…how is it even possible to make an update that breaks the app this badly. Clearly the people that update it dont use it or just dont care…Fun

It really seems like this new update is just a straight up downgrade. It has a worse UI and a longer stream delay. You also now have to scan a code with your phone to chat? Another is you can no longer see twitch chat when watching a vod. All around just a worse version. Would appreciate if it was reverted back to the way it was.

Since the new twitch update on PlayStation, twitch leads you to a QR Code to chat via mobile while watching on tv.
Chatbox is available and you are able to connect a Keyboard on PlayStation consoles.
In the last update chatting on console was a option.
I wish to chat over console again.+ Changing Name color on IoS app is not possible. Implementation would be great.

Pls bring back the older version of twitch
The new version feels clunky and it feels like a complete step back it makes no sense. -

Not only the chat, the application is pretty trash now. You could previously hide or show the chat pressing the square button, now you have to navigate with the stick to the chat option. Also, the mapping in the interface is worse than before. This is a serious downgrade compared to previous app.
Someone in twitch thought removing the chat in PS5 would be a great idea, what a "genius". But well probably the real reason, they are removing options so less support needed for the app.
