Solutions if Twitch Recommended Channels Disappear

Remove recommendations you are not interested in

Twitch recommends you remove recommendations you are not interested in.

After doing this, Twitch will display improved recommendations based on what you've previously enjoyed watching.

To do this; click/tap on the three vertical dots and then on 'I am not interested in this recommendation', and Twitch will remove the category, streamer, or section you don't like.

Wait for a couple of minutes

Reports of many users show that it was the solution for them. The issue might be due to an internal bug in Twitch, so all you need to do is wait a few moments to see if the problem gets solved.
