Twitch app update version 17.6 on iOS broke Stream Chat. Fix it now please.
BUG REPORT. Installing Twitch app update version 17.6 broke Stream Chat and requires immediate fixing in order to be fully functional.
THE BUG: A user can type and "send" chat messages that show up on the Twitch app's interface, but they do NOT EVER actually go to the Stream Chat. They don't show up. No one at all sees them.
ATTEMPTS TO WORKAROUND: I found no workarounds on iOS. I've DELETED the app, rebooted the iOS device, REINSTALLED the Twitch app. The result is exactly the same. I've also made sure it's specifically an app problem and not an overall Twitch problem. Using Twitch via web browser works as normal. It's specifically the app at fault. This bug started specifically with version 17.6 of the Twitch app for iOS.
MY HARDWARE: iPhone 13 with iOS 17.2.1, the most current version.
IDEA: Fix this now please. Otherwise, I can't use the app. No chat means no point in bothering with the Twitch app.

I’m also having this issue, and I’m surprised they haven’t fixed this in 9 months

I just started getting this issue too. Also when I tap the chat box, sometimes a random stream from the home page audio plays instead of the stream I’m watching.

This is also happening to me, and makes it so any new chats from others just don’t show either. This has been happening for at least 6 months now and still nothing from Twitch. Million dollar company can’t even fix a bug in their single app that they have. As someone who is a moderator from multiple peoples streams and cannot be at my computer at certain times means it’s the most frustrating thing in the entire entire world. Imagine not seeing a message that you need to delete/ban users. I’m on a iPhone 14 Plus on 17.5.1 IOS
