Frequently Asked Questions
Do Twitch Mobile Subs Auto-Renew?
Just like you would have on the desktop, as long as you don’t use prime subs or have gifted subs then the mobile subs immediately get renewed. However, if you use an iOS device, then you will also have to manually renew your subscription, so the renewal only goes for android subscriptions. As of right now on an iOS device, you have to pay for a sub with coins instead of using the regular way of paying.
Do Prime Subs Auto-Renew on Twitch?
If you have an Amazon Prime membership on your Amazon account and use this to subscribe to a channel as prime subs, then you don’t have the possibility to turn this into an auto-renewal subscription. With prime subs, you will have to manually subscribe each month, which means that after 1 month your subscription expires.
How Long Do Twitch Subs Last?
How long a normal sub lasts vary depending on how you decided to do the monthly charges. As there are some payment options on the monthly installments. You can choose to renew your subscription monthly, every 3 months (90 days), or every 6 months (180 days). However, many choose the 1 month (30 days) installment, which means they will have a recurring monthly charge.
If you decide to gift subs or have received some gifted subs, then these will only last one month and then you will either have to give this person another gifted sub or receive more gifted subs to keep being subscribed to your favorite streamers.
