Tags to filter lives, emote suggestions in the chat, a chat in time with the video, and a phone that runs cooler.

New

  • Filter lives by tag in Browse › Live channels and on every category page: tap one of the tags in use right now or type your own, up to five. Twitch does the filtering, so you get every live with that tag.
  • Matching emotes show up while you type in the chat: 7TV, BetterTTV and, if you're signed in, your own Twitch emotes. Type @ for the names of people who wrote recently.
  • If you pause a live and come back after more than a minute, or after it ended, it picks up from the VOD where you stopped instead of jumping to the live. The channel has to keep its VODs: if there's none, you go back to the live and the app tells you.
  • The quality you pick in the player sticks for the next lives and VODs, separately for Wi-Fi and mobile data, Auto included. If you change it in Settings, that one counts again.
  • The live chat keeps time with the video. Before, messages showed up a few seconds ahead of the moment they were about. Yours still appear right away.
  • The phone runs cooler: the ambient light, the chat and the scrolling title only work when they have to. In our tests, drawing a live takes about half the work it did.

RetoldShield

  • The anonymous ad reports now also count hours watched and the seconds of ads removed, and tell us when a new kind of ad shows up even if it never reaches the screen. No channels or links, once a day at most.

Fixes

  • Coming back from picture-in-picture with the phone upright could leave the player in the landscape layout: a small video in the middle with black bars around it.
  • The LIVE badge no longer blinks.
  • Changing the quality halfway through a VOD could fill the picture with stripes or turn it green. The player now notices and sorts itself out in a moment.
  • In landscape, reopening the side chat showed the old messages. It now opens on the current ones.
  • The panel asking permission for updates now opens fully in landscape too, and closes when you tap outside it.
