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.

Please come back in chat on consoles and on Fire TV.

It's ridiculous, because I have a keyboard on PS5. They have made the app on PS5 and Fire TV useless.

This was an absolute miss. They need to bring chat back. Also, they need to allow each PSN account to have their separate Twitch account logged in again. Logging in and out every time someone in my house wants to watch on their account is trash especially considering this was not a problem before. User btw.

It’s ridiculous that I cannot chat to a streamer I have subscribed to on my Xbox? Please revert this change as it is a huge mistake.

No recently watching and no chat in VODs is a terrible update. This has made it very annoying to watch Critical Role as a VOD. I will just watch it on YouTube now.

This update hit my PS5 yesterday and it’s horrible. I might as well watch from my cell phone if I have to have it open to utilize the chat option. This is going to make people that are limited on their internet have to use even more of their data just to be able to engage with creators and their communities. Consoles should be reverted back to the old option. There was no problem with it. You could chat actively, use emotes properly, even see if your friends were watching the same creator with you (since y’all took that option away last year that was super beneficial for being more involved w our friends and what we are watching together). The Home Screen looks funky and clunky and just not pleasing to the eye as it previously did. Like, why?!!!? What were y’all thinking with these changes??

Who the **** at Twitch came up with idiotic idea? Eh? How did that go? “Hey Jimmy, I have a great idea. Let’s force PlayStation 5 users to use their phones to chat and take away their ability to chat via controller!” “Ok Timmy, you’re a genius”. Jesus Christ man. Have a flipping word with yourself and get this **** changed back now. Twitch is fast becoming a platform to avoid.

C'est la pire mise à jour. Ça deviens complètement inutile d'avoir l'application twitch sur nos console ont ne peut plus interagir. Ils sont entrain de tué leur appli et leur plate-forme c'est une honte de faire ce genre de maj.

I agree, this update is terrible. At least this time when you hit unfollow, they actually ask you if you want to do it. Accidentally unfollowed twice and lost a follow I had since 2017 on an older version of the app… Just bring the chat back!

Just bring back the previous version in general. The old version of the app was perfect, then you took that and completely downgraded it out of nowhere.

Bring back the ability to chat on PS5. You took away us vision-impaired persons the ability to read and chat on the big screen.

I would like to say this new layout for the update is not it at all bring back the other vision instead this nobody like the new update at all including me

This update needs to be reverted ASAP. Not being able to even see chat on vods ruins a good portion of my viewing experience because I don’t even understand what the streamer is conversing about. Also the layout before was completely fine this new one is much harder to navigate.

I have never been ****** off about an app update until this happened to me today. It completely nuked my viewing preference. It's not just the elimination of the chat, but it also completely removed the use of the universal remote control buttons, so I can't use the pause and the forward/backward scans on VODs. This is completely unacceptable and demand the previous version restored pronto.

why remove a basic feature from the app? chatting with my keyboard plugged in to the PS5 is a much better experience than chatting on mobile phone.

I used to love the twitch app for ps5, I could watch on a larger screen and still chat with people. Not anymore, I don't want to use a secondary device just to chat. the new update it so the delay is even longer than on mobile. Just revert the update. there was no reason to make the changes in the first place. and why did it log me out? an update shouldn't just be able to do that.
