Chain Twitch streams infinitely with this new update.
The latest update for the iOS and Android Twitch app adds the capability to watch a video while browsing other content, letting users keep an eye on one broadcast while looking for the next stream to watch. The Amazon-owned livestreaming video company has found yet another way to keep its more than 65 million users’ faces glued to the screen and tuned into its more than 1 million game-focused content streamers.
Much like YouTube’s mobile app, the Twitch update has a video constantly playing, though viewers can swipe away should they want the full screen for browsing. Android users (version 4.3+ and after) get a bonus audio-only mode that lets them listen to broadcasts in the background, even if the device is locked.
The updated app is available on both Google Play or the App Store now.
