This is happening to me as well. Some streams completely freeze as soon as I try to type in chat or use emotes. Not all however, and not the same streams every time. I am not multitasking at the time. I have tried killing the app, restarting my phone, deleting and reinstalling the app. I just did the most recent update today and was hoping that would fix the issue. It did not. In fact, it was only happening for 1 streamer before, and now it's multiple. I have an iPhone 14 running on IOS 17.0.3

Still happening on my end daily. Very infuriating. Trying to just navigate the app and it freezes while steam is still playing. Complete frustration. Such a major inconvenience especially when I am PAYING for subscriptions yet it always continues to freeze.

any update on the same? seems like the feature still hasn’t come back. Have 20s delay and the app is basically unusable.

We've been able to reproduce the issue now and are working on a fix.

Hi, Twitch staff here. Could you confirm if you are in the 15.9 version of the app? That's the latest, released yesterday.

Are you multitasking when this happen? For example, does it crash when switching into a different app or are you interacting with it?

Do you happen to have a video of the crash?

Thanks!

Hi. I experience the same flicker when using the Twitch app on my Android TV.

I have different Android TVs/Chromecasts and have the same issue on all of them.

When watching a stream every few seconds it flickers. The screen goes black for a few milliseconds. It doesn't happen during adverts only streams.

Reducing the source resolution makes it flicker less. But then it's blurry.

Casting the same stream doesn't have the issue at all. It's only when viewing the stream directly through the app. I have also noticed it happens if using a Web Browser and the twitch web site on my Android TV rather than using the Twitch app. Only casting doesn't cause it.

Is it expected to be fixed today or no timeline?

Then how come yesterday, for the first time ever, an ad showed while streaming on chromecast? Soon after that “historical moment” this issue happened.

This is a little off topic, but another Chromecast bug has existed for years on the twitch app, and maybe you can make people aware. When you cast a vod to Chromecast at source quality, it will simply stop after a few minutes.

See for example: https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310225-twitch-applications-tv-apps/suggestions/41322055-chromecast-vods-freeze-at-1080p
