There comes a time in every online gamer’s life when one must move on from platforms once cherished. Beyond PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass, one of the premiere gaming content meccas is Twitch. Built from the ground up to give players the world over a community forum to live-stream through, it’s the kind of content hub that’s great when you want it, but maybe one of the first things you want to walk away from when you’re taking a break from your PC and consoles.

In the event that you’d like to cancel your Twitch subscription, shutting your account down is a simple process. We’ve put together this guide to help, which also explores how to cancel your Twitch account through Twitch’s mobile app, and what to expect when canceling a Twitch Prime account.
If you’re already on your desktop computer, canceling your subscription is a simple process. Here’s where to go.
Step 1: Head to the Subscriptionstarget="_blank"> page on your Twitch account. If you don’t sign in automatically, you’ll have to input your Twitch username and password.
Step 2: Look for the Cog icon in the upper-right corner of the window. Select this to change how your subscription works.
Step 3: You will see options to change your subscription or change how you pay. But if you want to cancel entirely, select Don’t renew subscription.
Step 4: Twitch will bring up a list of reasons to pick from to indicate why you are canceling. Select whichever you want, then select Don’t renew subscription again. Note the date at the bottom, which shows when you can once again subscribe if you change your mind.
Step 5: Keep in mind, Twitch subscription lengths can vary. If you have your account set to renew every three months and you are only one month in, you’ll still have two months left before your subscription is canceled.
Subscriptions work a bit differently on mobile devices, but you can still quickly cancel them with the right approach. Here's what to do.
Step 1: Open the Twitch app on your mobile device and log in if necessary. Once you are in, select your Profile picture in the upper-left corner.
Step 3: Your new window will now show your active Twitch subscriptions. Select the subscription that you would like to cancel.
Step 4: In the new window, you can check your subscription status. To end it, select the Cancel subscription button at the bottom, and confirm.
Twitch Prime is available to Amazon Prime account holders, and is the evolved version of Twitch’s old Turbo service. Twitch Prime users have access to special features like custom emotes, sub badges, and ad-free viewing.

To cancel through your Amazon account, head to your Amazon account page and click Your Account > Settings > Manage Prime Membership > Cancel the Twitch Prime Membership.
To cancel via Twitch, launch the Twitch site and click your profile icon. Next, click Settings > Connections. Then, click on the Disable button and click Confirm.

Negative. If you’re deleting a Twitch account, this means all of your content and profile info, including things like highlights, user rewards, and stats. After 90 days, Twitch will permanently erase all of this data from its servers.
When you disable a Twitch account, the only thing you’re actually doing is putting a temporary block on your channel and content. The only thing you’ll have to do to re-activate is log back into your Twitch account.
With your subscriptions cancelled, why not consider becoming a streamer yourself? Here's how to stream on Twitch.
Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.
How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?
According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
