Bring back the ability to chat on the twitch app for consoles

The fact that you guys took away to ability to chat for people on console just seems bad to be honest. Not everyone can afford a mobile phone or even a pc, I would love to see this feature come back.

    THIS ^ The update hit PS4 and I use ps4 for casual watch & chat. We shouldn't have to juggle multiple devices JUST to watch a stream

    Please bring back the option to type in chat with a controller. Why does Twitch constantly push away their viewers with idiotic changes like this?

    Bring back the typing with the controller back

    Add chat on Twitch app on PlayStation 4 Pro consoles to be able to communicate with live streamers and other people on chat.

    Add chat on Twitch app on Xbox Series X consoles to be able to communicate with live streamers and other people on chat.

    I would like to see the new console app reverted or at least see the chat function come back to consoles. As someone who uses twitch and enjoyed watching twitch on console from time to time just the fact they removed that function.. was a bad move for the new gen consoles.

    I hope you listen Twitch because seriously no one likes this update you done.

    The fact you have to have a mobile device or a pc just to be able to chat is a bit absurd to me. I think twitch should be easy access for everyone I've even emailed them about it to because it's just not fair.

    I don’t know why this was removed but I feel as though you should re-enable to chat on consoles.

    Returning of the feature that allowed Xbox users to join stream chat via the twitch app that's available in the Microsoft store.

    Bring back the ability to chat on consol back like it used to be. No one wants to use there phone instead of a usb keyboard or a controller, especially if they dont have a working phone, or use the phone to watch a 2nd channel if they have no pc like my self.

    You changed something in the Xbox one app (maybe PS4 as well?) So that now I can no longer chat inside the app itself. I now literally have to use my phone to chat while I watch the stream on my TV. This is incredibly cumbersome.

    The new chat experience is clearly a step backwards and a loss of functionality. Please revert these changes so you can watch and chat from one device, the console.

    you cant see chat and it makes it very hard when u have to check constantly.

    Twitch chat to appear on screen when playing Xbox one so the streamer can see the chat while streaming
