If you don’t know how to cancel your Twitch subscription, it is a really easy task and it is possible to carry out on an Android smartphone, iPhone and even PC. Twitch is currently the most popular platform for broadcasting video games.
Millions of users around the world have subscribed to a Twitch channel because they like the content streamers share and want to support them.
