Twitch announced today several new changes coming to the livestreaming platform’s mobile app, to include user-demanded features like the ability to livestream directly from the app and a new interface.
While the update won’t let streamers broadcast games from their phone just yet (sorry, any on-the-go Hearthstone players) but it will allow live broadcasts from your device’s camera.
Twitch on mobile will also receive a major overhaul to its UI to function more like its big brother desktop counterpart, to include newly added navigation bar, a Dark Mode for easier-on-the-eyes nighttime viewing, Instant Playlists, and a Pulse feed for content recommendations.
The app update is just one of many initiatives led by the Amazon-owned streaming service to boost its audience. Other changes of late include opening its own game store, offering free in-game goodies to Twitch Prime subscribers, and encouraging content beyond gaming — such as cooking programs or even woodworking streams. game store woodworking streams
