  1. On the tablet version of the iOS Twitch mobile app, chat is normally positioned to the right side of the screen and is about the same width as on desktop.

    https://i.imgur.com/fYfgftd.jpg

    When the software keyboard is enabled, chat expands to fill the upper-right quadrant of the screen while the stream stays in the upper left quadrant, which is normal.

    However, when a hardware keyboard is connected, the software keyboard does not appear while typing; unfortunately, the chat still expands to fill half of the available screen real estate, minimizing the stream to the left.

    Frustratingly, the screen has…

  2. Allow us to sub on mobile for the same price as on the desktop. There should be no reason this wasn't how it was on release.

  3. I'd love to use the Stream-Manager on my Android tablet (with a magnetic keyboard attached), but the feature is portrait only for some reason. It would be great to be able to respont to comments on the tablet's physical keyboard.

  4. Until the most recent update to the Android app, notifications were in the following format:

    Title: <Streamer> is streaming <Category>!
    Text: <Streamer's 'Go Live Notification' message>

    This was mostly fine, though with longer usernames or certain categories, it could be unclear which game was being played - but depending on what the streamer wrote for their Go Live Notification (GLN), it could be clarified just by pulling the notification down and reading the text section.

    But now with the latest version of the app, the notification comes in two flavours, seemingly at random. Either:

    Title: <Streamer> is live: <GLN>
    Text:…

  6. I recently upgraded my phone to the Pixel 5 with a hole punch camera in the front.

    Netflix and Youtube support this via a pinch out zoom and fills the width of the screen, it appears that the Twitch app is almost there as it seems to support a pinch out zoom but it won't go all the way over and stops with a black bar over the camera and status bar area.

    I would like the pinch out to zoom to fill the whole screen! Thank you

  7. Can we please allow the mobile Twitch app dashboard to be viewed horizontally on the mobile dashboard instead of being stuck in vertical view? Also, can we please have the stream preview on the mobile dashboard? I use my tablet to monitor my stream and it would be convenient to be able to use the dashboard view instead of the channel view to monitor my stream when using the mobile app.

  8. Twitch iOS app (14.6) still has previous bug(s) that cause app to completely freeze with no response after stream crashes while exiting PIP mode; thus, needing app to always be rebooted.

    To encounter bug:

    Do quick search (Lookup) of highlighted word in chat window and select an option from list to open link to Safari.

    Twitch App will open PIP window to continue viewing stream with Safari window open.

    Stream being viewed in PIP window will instantly crash and completely freeze app; once you expand PIP window to return stream back to normal in Twitch app.

    Note: Bug does not…

  9. Please add support for Siri voice commands, such as Rewind and Fast Forward, when watching videos on demand. For example, “Hey Siri, Rewind 30 seconds”, or “Hey Siri, Fast Forward two minutes.”

    Currently that can only be done with on-screen buttons but the app doesn’t support those Siri commands. Siri responds with “Sorry I couldn’t go back” or “Sorry I couldn’t skip this”. A good example of how this SHOULD work is the native iOS Podcasts app.

  10. I’ve noticed when people stream off android they have a button to view chat. There is no such thing for people streaming on IOS. Suggesting we get the same feature on iOS, so we don’t need an additional device just to view our chat

  11. I'd love to see Twitch get its own VR app or a VR option in the current app, maybe somewhat similar to YouTube VR's interface. I'd be happy to pay a fee for the use or possibly have it included in the price of Turbo.

  13. On iPad, tapping the chat box to open the keyboard freezes the screen (audio unaffected) for around 5 seconds, after which the keyboard will appear but the stream will change to 1 fps. As of new update.

  14. It would be really nice to be able to react with a channels own emotes to their stories. If there's concern about the amount of space this UI would take, let the creator pre-select which emotes are enabled for this.
    Side note, clips being paused while reacting is quite annoying, especially since they don't autoplay afterwards.

  15. I would love an option for a stream to play but not take over the iOS media audio stream. For example, in the Discord and Reddit apps, if a video is played, its audio will play at the same time as whatever is playing through iOS's background audio!

    This way we can watch streams and still listen to our own music

    Especially for an ongoing chat you might not know what day a message is from

  19. Play In Background claims it will switch to audio only mode when the screen is locked. I have it enabled.

    When I have the app open and I lock the screen or swipe down from tho top of the screen to open the iOS notification center, the audio does continue playing.

    When I leave the app while a stream is playing, the stream continues playing in a picture-in-picture mode. If I then lock the screen or open the iOS notification center, the playback pauses rather than switching to audio only mode and continuing.

    This is especially annoying when pressing play…

  20. When browsing on mobile, i have to reset my language tag EVERY new category i look through. It would be great if they would stay, just like on Desktop site. I only speak/read English and having to trudge through searching for English can get very tiredsome and eventually i give up and don't even watch anything until i get back to my PC.

    Also, why 2 English tags, with no distiction between them. I understand one is Brittish/UK English and the other American English, but they both only say "English". There's really not much difference between the 2 either and…
