    Please revert back to the original layout for mobile, or at least make a few changes to this one.

    What I liked about the last layout was that it was built so you could easily use it in either landscape or portrait. Now when you start the mobile app, it forces you to start it in portrait, and then you can switch back to landscape. A frustrating problem happens if you're watching the phone on its side and then go back. Since it automatically switches back to portrait, you have to pick up the phone, hold it up, switch to a different stream, and then lay it down again. You have to do that every time you switch between streams if you want to go to the follow list. Before you could just leave the phone in one position and easily navigate from stream to stream. This newest update has just made the app harder to use.

    Also the fact that the home page just autoplays one of your followed streams is annoying. I rather it be like before when I just look at my follow list, see what see what everyone's streaming, and then decide who I will watch. Now this update has made it so I have to click an extra button to see what everyone is streaming. No matter what is autoplaying, I still want to see what everyone is streaming before I decide who I will watch.

    Also, making this app more like Tiktok just doesn't make any sense. Tiktok focuses more on shorter videos that people scroll through quickly. Twitch streams are made to be watched for a longer period of time. Making the Twitch app focus more on a portrait format that's meant to be flicked through constantly doesn't make sense. People tend to stick with and watch Twitch streams for longer periods of time instead of just constantly clicking from stream to stream.
