  1. Tab with broadcasts which u have watch, but dont watch completely.

  2. I have just discovered that for streams containing embedded closed captions (NOT via a Twitch extension), there is no way to display the closed captions when playing the stream on Android or when casting to a Chromecast.

    I think it's great that Twitch has added captions support in the first place, but all of it is for nothing if someone who relies on captions is watching on the app or Chromecast.

    To be extra clear, I am not talking about caption extensions - those show up in the app, but many streamers use proper embedded captions which seem to only…

  3. New twitch uptdate:
    The autoplay scroll funckion for live channels is horrific.
    I follow channels on a whim I got about 70 live its useless.
    The little tiny tiny button on the right is too small the hitbox is too small too.

    The autoplay is horror I open the app and hit anything all I hear is screaming when I just wanted to check who is online.

    Autoplay cannot be turned off.
    You made the twitch mobile app into a doomscrolling feed of live. Why do such a horrific thing

  4. There needs to be an option that lets you resize the Chat. The Chat takes away a good chunk of the screen when it is not minimized and it makes the Stream significantly smaller and since I like reading the chat I would like to have both on my screen without the Stream getting too small. Also, on my iPhone 12 on the right side of the Chat there is some kind of “black bar” with nothing on it which also takes away a little bit of the screen and it would also be nice if that would get removed.

  5. So the latest update for the mobile app introduced channel suggestion based on your language.
    http://i.imgur.com/OKiAjRl.png
    Those appear in every game directory and on the channel directory. It would be nice to have an option to disable those. I rarely watch streams in my own language and this takes up a lot of unnecessary space for me. A polish friend also finds those rather annoying so I guess I'm not alone with this.

  7. Basically there is a pretty big problem with the mobile app and Twitch Chat: It wastes a lot of data, and a lot of battery. In big channels, specifically Esports events, there can be upwards of 100,000 people in the stream and there are hundreds of chat messages every second. This is where the problem lies, it eats your battery and you can say bye to your data.

    My proposed change is to simply add a new mode that can be found in the viewing settings that allows you to just have the video fullscreen all the time (like it…

  8. While watching a previously viewed stream under “Continue Watching” when the advertisements finish. The VOD resets back to the beginning at 0:00. You manually need to reset it back to the last known watched time signature. Please take note of this. Thanks

  9. The new mobile set up is awful, you can’t even view the important information as well as the video feed about who’s streams are on and what they are streaming which makes it harder to find and decide who you want to watch but also makes it hard to find new creators you would be interested in watching. (Tik tok format doesn’t work for a platform like twitch and creates more problems than solutions). Twitch drops are also worse now because they have been moved to the furthest tab away which is super inconvenient and a 100% direct down grade.…

  11. The “Featured Clip” is frustratingly oversized and takes up way to much space. It doesn’t need to be above “Live” or “Recommended” either. Move it down or make it a tab at the bottom with the other search features.

  13. Don’t know why twitch needs a FYP tab when they already have the “discover” category seems like a waste of time and brings nothing new to twitch.

  14. It’s obnoxious to enter the app and have a random stream start playing. Please restore the previous default of going to the followed channels and being able to pick a stream from there.

  15. Please add an option to stretch the stream/VOD on the android devices with new aspect ratios (18.5:9, 18:9 etc). The native crop to fit are bad for streams.

  16. Often, streams contain several games/categories. The chapters function on PC is super helpful in determining which categories are in a VOD. For example, I've been catching up on watch party VODs. I like to play the show on my PC and have the streamer and chat replay on my phone. The streamer takes breaks between episodes, which are a pain to skip using the slider. On PC, I can just click the next watch party chapter. Considering this function already exists, it would make sense to port it to the mobile platform.

  17. Had this idea a while back. Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to send Kappas, PogChamps and such to eachother in text messages, snapchats etc?

  18. I like being able to change all of my apps notification sounds so I know what the notification is without even turning my head to look at my phone.

    Right now with the new update it just uses the notification sound as set in Android settings, which can conflict with other notifications. I'd like to be able to change the notification sound for the Twitch app specifically, like many other apps on Android allow you to do.

  19. As a mod I think that it would be an amazing idea to give mods the option to actually be full mods on mobile. As of right now we can’t create polls, create predictions, or manage redeems.
