Unfollowing someone on Twitch is a simple process, and you can do it from a mobile phone, computer browser, or the Twitch app. When you unfollow a channel, you will no longer receive updates, notifications, or see their live streams on your followed list.
How to Unfollow Someone on Twitch (Desktop/Laptop)
To unfollow a streamer using a computer, first log in to your Twitch account. After logging in, go to the search bar at the top of the page and find the channel or streamer you want to unfollow. Open their channel page. On the channel, you will see a purple “Following” button (this means you already follow them). Simply click on this button, and it will change to “Follow,” confirming that you have unfollowed the channel.
Another way is through your Following list. Click on your profile icon, go to “Following,” and you will see all the channels you follow. From there, you can easily click on each channel and unfollow them one by one.

If you are using the Twitch mobile app, open the app and log in. Tap on the “Following” tab at the bottom of the screen. This will show all the streamers you follow. Tap on the channel you want to unfollow. Once their channel opens, tap the “Following” button. It will change to “Follow,” which means you have successfully unfollowed them.
