Remember, Twitch promised earlier to enhance its mobile app within the year? Yesterday, the platform stated in the blog about redesigning the application through an update. The updated Twitch mobile app will start rolling out this week...
Despite most Twitch viewing hours coming from the desktop app, over 50% of users access Twitch on their smartphones, with 40% exclusively using their smartphones. Apparently, this trend is what prompted Twitch to improve the mobile app. Today it will be easier for viewers to find enjoyable content.
Now, upon opening the redesigned app, users will see their Discovery Feed, featuring live streams based on personalized recommendations from followed streamers and channels that Twitch suggests.
Here is the list of additional new features accessible from the home tab:
1) Tapping the follow drawer in the upper left to see the live channels they follow.
2) Swiping to the Clips feed to view clips.
3) Viewing Stories to see updates from followed streamers.
So, some tabs in the Twitch mobile app have also been updated:
1) The Browse tab allows users to search or browse by category.
2) The Activity tab lets users catch up on notifications and Whispers.
3) The Profile tab helps streamers manage subscriptions and access account information.
4) The Creator+ button enables streamers to go live, create a story, and access their dashboard.
Finally, Twitch is seriously investing in its mobile experience, especially with the growing number of people using its mobile app. So we can expect new features and improvements, which is exciting...
