The app's new design will focus on making it easier for users to watch the streams they love while at the same time improving discovery of new channels. Swipe to Change, Instant Playlists, Language Ranking, and improved Notifications are UI improvements noted on the official Twitch mobile app blog. Other awesome features being added are a dark mode for when you are watching late night streams and profiles. The biggest new feature in my opinion is the ability to do an in real life (IRL) stream directly from the Twitch mobile app. 

This news comes on the back of sub buttons being added to Twitch Affiliate channels.
