Who Do You Follow on Twitch—and Who Follows You?
If you've been using Twitch for a while, your following list can get pretty crowded. You may have followed streamers years ago that you don't watch anymore, accounts that haven't streamed in ages, or people whose usernames you don't even recognize. You may have followed someone because you enjoyed one stream, wanted to support another creator, participated in a raid, or simply clicked Follow and forgot about it.
And if you've reached Twitch's 2,000-channel following limit, cleaning up that list becomes especially important if you want to follow new creators. You may not necessarily want to unfollow people just because they're offline, either—you may simply want to see a complete list of the channels you've followed so you can decide for yourself who stays and who goes.
Fortunately, you don't have to visit every channel individually to figure out who you're following. Twitch has a dedicated Channels list where you can see the channels you've followed and remove follows directly from the list. If you're a streamer, you can also access a separate list showing the people who follow your channel.
Here's how to find both.
How Do I See Who I'm Following on Twitch on Desktop?
The easiest way to see your Twitch following list on desktop is through the Following section.
Open Twitch and log into your account.
Look at the top-left corner of the screen, beside the Twitch logo.
Click Following.
When the Following page opens, you'll see tabs including Live, Latest Videos, Channels, and Categories.
Click Channels.
The Channels tab is the one you want if you're trying to see everyone you currently follow.
This is also a convenient place to clean up your following list. You can scroll through the channels you're following and unfollow people directly from this screen without opening their individual channel pages.
That makes it particularly useful if you've hit Twitch's 2,000-channel following limit. You can go through the list and remove accounts you don't recognize, channels you no longer watch, or inactive accounts that you don't need taking up a spot.
Twitch doesn't currently provide a large selection of sorting or filtering options for this list, so you're generally working with the list as Twitch presents it. But you can still use the Channels page as a central place to review and manage your follows rather than searching for channels one at a time.
How Can I See Who I'm Following on Twitch on Mobile?
Twitch's mobile experience doesn't always work exactly like the desktop website, which is one reason older tutorials about managing your following list can be confusing.
In the Twitch mobile app, tap the Following area to see the channels and content associated with the accounts you follow. Twitch's mobile Following experience is designed around keeping up with followed channels, including channels that are currently live and other content from creators you follow.
If you're specifically trying to review and clean up a large following list, however, the desktop website is the better option. The desktop Channels view gives you a more comprehensive management experience.
Twitch's mobile interface can also change as the app is updated, so you may not see exactly the same tabs or controls shown on desktop.
How Do I See Who Is Following Me on Twitch?
If you're a streamer, you may also want to see the people who follow your channel.
Twitch puts that information in the Creator Dashboard, rather than in the regular Following section.
How to See Your Twitch Followers on Desktop
Log into Twitch.
Click your profile picture in the top-right corner.
Select Creator Dashboard.
Open Community in the left-hand menu.
Select Followers List.
Your Followers List shows the Twitch users who currently follow your channel. Twitch's Creator Dashboard documentation places the Followers List under the Community section of the dashboard.
This is useful if you want to keep track of who is following your channel, recognize new community members, or simply get a better picture of who's actually connected to your stream.
How to See Your Twitch Followers on Mobile
You can also access your creator tools from a mobile device, although Twitch's mobile interface may not expose every Creator Dashboard feature in the same way as desktop.
The most reliable method is to open Twitch in your phone's web browser and, if necessary, request the Desktop Site from your browser settings.
Then:
Log into Twitch.
Open your profile menu.
Select Creator Dashboard.
Open Community.
Select Followers List.
If the Creator Dashboard or Followers List isn't available in Twitch's normal mobile layout, switching your browser to the desktop version of the site should give you access to the same creator tools available on desktop.
If you’ve hit Twitch’s 2,000-channel following limit, you don’t have to blindly start unfollowing people just to make room. Taking a few minutes to look through your full Channels list lets you decide what’s actually worth keeping, whether that means removing inactive accounts, forgotten follows, or channels you simply don’t watch anymore. And if you’re a streamer, checking your own Followers List can give you a better picture of the people who are actually showing up for your channel. Twitch could certainly make both lists easier to find, but once you know where they are, managing your follows is a whole lot less frustrating.
