Please don't remove friends. I rely on it to watch people, I cannot keep up with my follower list so I rely on who my friends are watching and when my friends are streaming to watch those I really care about. Please please please don't remove the feature. If you want to abandon any further development to reduce expenditure then sure but please please please don't remove it.

Or an option to disable friend requests from people you don't follow or who don't follow you.

When finishing up I want to see my "followed channels / friend" list without having to open another twitch page and clunkily try and find someone, then going back to the dashboard.
In the old UI you could just easily browse the left side.

I'd like to turn these off. If I'm recommended channels/people I don't actually like it can often ruin my day. (on top of that, it flat-out confuses the interface.)

If the website had a section on the side above followed channels which just had the users subbed channels it encourages people to sub to their favourite streamers to make it more convenient to find their stream. It also encourages subbing to streamers who are smaller as they are more likely to be low down on the list so you can boost them up on yours and effectively "favourite" them so you don't have to search their username to find their stream!

A feature that allows you to see your friends messages in streams highlighted, similarly to how when you're @'d. You get to pick a color to highlight your friends so that you could see/read their messages in larger streams. Of course you could choose to enable/disable the feature of your own accord, might become a bit annoying for the viewer when engaging in a smaller streamer's chat.

I AM VERY Angry, that Twitch.tv is deleting the friend list function on twitch.tv.

IS TWITCH.TV MAD?

I have a very large friends list. I suspect that twitch did not do enough research on this feature, I'm sure they only looked at fake accounts.

PLEASE STOP 2 Deleting the FRIEND LIST FUNCTIOn !

STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT

Will be possible to add a new role to give permission to see the analitychs stats for a channel?

This will help to the streamers to empower one person (Talent/Friend) to review his stats and help him to grow without the need to be asking the streamer every day what their statistics have been..

Thanks

Everytime a friend writes in chat, we can see their message highlighted. Or being able to select a user and highlight all the messages they write, perhaps temporarily. This funcionality allows users to deepen their individual experience with chat

When streamers shout out fellow friend streamers on raids I'd like to be able to clic on his name (on mobile or PC) and have the option to follow them instead of adding them as a friend. I may be blind be having friends is a useful thing on FB, what Twitch has, from a content creator point of view is streamers and viewers...
Don't see where friends come in the equation.

I think it would be nice to have a fully automated feature that kept you and your friends stream in sync. I'm watching the counterstrike major at the moment and Its frustrating having my other friends in the teamspeak be at slightly different points during the stream. I think a button "sync with friends" or something similar would be really cool.

I would like to see all of the people that did not approve my friend request, so I can cancel said requests. I don't like leaving a friend request hanging there for years like I'm begging them to be my Twitch friend, alternatively I have to look at each of my friends to see pending requests.

Get rid of friend requests because this isn't Facebook.

It would be a good idea to have a friend request feature. For example, if a streamer has their friend requests turned off, they will not be able to receive any of them at all even a friend attempts to send one successfully.

All users in the "online friends" section in the bottom left corner have invalid url. Clicking on your friend with scroll button opens new page with currently opened channel.

linking channels connecting them together would be cool going live on the same thing
really amazing
