7TV, BTTV and FFZ emotes

Twitch for Android, now with the emotes chat actually uses.

No more reading KEKW as five sad letters. Chat is a picture book again.

Everything mobile chat was missing
PurpleTV ReVive runs inside the official Twitch app, so there is nothing new to learn. Every feature has its own switch under Settings, PurpleTV.
Emotes, finally
Emote autocomplete
Type a few letters of any emote and pick it from a list above the chat box. No colon, no scrolling through 600 emotes like it's 2016.
Favorites bar
Long-press an emote to pin it. Sort favorites into folders or tabs, and keep a different set for each streamer.
Emote details and stats
Tap an emote to see it big, who uploaded it, and who in chat has been spamming it the most.
Chat, but better
Badges and pronouns
7TV, FFZ, BTTV, Chatterino, DankChat, Chatsen and Homies badges, plus pronoun tags from pronouns.alejo.io.
Offline chat translation
Messages in other languages get a translation underneath, made on your phone. Nothing gets sent anywhere.
Deleted messages
See what a deleted message said, struck through or greyed out. Works as a regular viewer, not just as a mod.
Timestamps with seconds
Nine formats, seconds included. Twitch can't do that. We checked.
Highlights and blacklist
Tint a row when it mentions a word or comes from someone, and make the messages you never want to see vanish without a gap.
Mod logs
In channels you moderate, a line in chat says who timed out or banned whom, and why.
The player, upgraded
40+ video filters
Fix a washed-out or too-dark stream as it plays, or go full VHS glitch. Overlays, blend modes and presets included.
Audio filters
Volume boost, compressor, voice clarity and a 16-band equaliser. For the streamer whose mic peaks every five minutes.
Live captions
Captions on live streams: the stream's own, or speech to text made on your phone in seven languages. Translated too, if you like.
Ad volume
Turn ads down to as little as 5% of their volume. They still play in full and still pay the streamer. Your ears just get a break.
Sleep timer
Closes or pauses Twitch after 15 minutes to 2 hours. Built for the 3 a.m. "one more stream".
Clip and save
One button clips the last moments of a live stream and saves the video to your phone.
Small things that add up
Channel points, auto-claimed
Bonus chests claim themselves in the background. You're welcome.
Settings sync
The same setup on every device, through one small file in your own Google Drive. No sign-up.
Hide the clutter
Leaderboards, the hype train banner, Stories, the Bits button and more, one switch each.
Updates built in
PurpleTV tells you when a new version is out, says what changed, and installs it inside the app.

Built in the open
An app you install from outside the Play Store should earn your trust. Here is how this one tries to.
Every line is public
The full source is on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license. Read it, build it yourself, or open an issue.
Downloads come from GitHub
Every download on this site is a direct link to GitHub Releases, with the file's SHA-256 checksum shown so you can check it.
Your login stays with Twitch
It works inside the official Twitch app. PurpleTV never asks for your password, and there is no account to make.
No ad blocking, no money mods
Ads and subs are how streamers get paid, so those stay. Ad volume only turns the sound down.
Download PurpleTV ReVive
Pick the one that fits your phone. Not sure? The first one is right for most people.
Twitch 31.7.0 with PurpleTV built in
For Android 12L or newer. Uninstall the Play Store Twitch first, then install this one. It updates itself after that.
Get it on GitHubTwitch 31.1.2 with PurpleTV built in
For Android 8.0 or newer, and the one to pick below Android 12L. Same steps as above.
Get it on GitHubModule only (LSPosed or LSPatch)
For LSPosed, or to patch your own Twitch with LSPatch. On LSPosed you can also install it from the Repository tab and get updates there.
Get it on GitHubInstalling the ready-to-install Twitch
- Uninstall the Play Store Twitch. Android can't install over an app signed by someone else. You'll log in again afterwards.
- Download the APK on your phone and open it. Android asks you to allow your browser to install apps. That's normal for anything from outside the Play Store. It's about 140 MB, so Wi-Fi helps.
- Open Twitch and go to Settings. PurpleTV is the first row. Turn on whatever you like.
Using the module with LSPosed or LSPatch? The full steps are in the README.
Questions people ask
Is PurpleTV ReVive free?
Yes. It's free and open source under the Apache 2.0 license. No ads, no paywall, no premium tier.
Do I need root?
No. The ready-to-install Twitch works on any Android phone from 8.0 up. Root with LSPosed, or LSPatch, is only needed if you want the module on its own.
Is it safe to install?
The full source code is public on GitHub, and every download comes straight from GitHub Releases with a SHA-256 checksum. It runs inside the official Twitch app and never asks for your password. As with any app from outside the Play Store, only download it from this site or the GitHub page.
Can I get banned for using it?
Any modified Twitch client is against Twitch's Terms of Service, so use it at your own risk. PurpleTV ReVive doesn't block ads or touch payments, and most of what it changes only shows up on your own screen.
Does it block ads?
No, on purpose. Ads and subscriptions are how Twitch and streamers get paid. Ad volume can turn an ad down to 5% of its loudness, but the ad still plays in full and still counts for the streamer.
Which Twitch versions does it work with?
The current release is built for Twitch 31.7.0 (Android 12L or newer) and Twitch 31.1.2 (Android 8.0 or newer), and picks the right setup by itself. Twitch renames its internals in every update, so other versions will most likely break some features.
Is this the original PurpleTV?
No. PurpleTV and bttv-android brought 7TV, BetterTTV and FrankerFaceZ emotes to Twitch on Android first. PurpleTV ReVive picks up their chat features for today's Twitch app.
Is there an iPhone version?
No. PurpleTV ReVive is Android only.
How do I turn it off?
Open Twitch's Settings, tap PurpleTV, and switch off PurpleTV enabled at the top. Restart Twitch and you're back to stock Twitch. Your settings are kept for when you switch it back on.
