Refreshing the Twitch App and Clearing Cache
To refresh the Twitch app, simply close the app and reopen it. This will reload the app and may fix any problems.
To clear cache, follow these steps:
1. In your web browser (such as Google Chrome), press Ctrl+Shift+Delete simultaneously.
2. A window will appear with options to clear browsing data. Make sure the “Cached images and files” box is checked.

Clearing cache can help eliminate any stored data or temporary files that might be causing issues with Twitch emotes.
Troubleshooting Sub and Bit Emote Issues
If you’re experiencing issues with Twitch sub emotes not working, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
First, make sure you’re logged into your Twitch account. Sometimes, logging out and logging back in can resolve the issue.
Next, clear your browser’s cache and cookies. These temporary files can sometimes interfere with the proper functioning of Twitch emotes.
If you’re using a browser extension or plugin, try disabling it temporarily to see if that resolves the problem. Some extensions can conflict with Twitch’s functionality.
If the emotes are not displaying correctly, try refreshing the page or opening Twitch in a different browser. This can help identify if the issue is specific to your browser.
If the problem persists, try using a different device or network. Sometimes, issues can be related to your IP address or internet connection.
