Twitch is a big part of our online lives, especially when we have those specific channels that are like a second home. But have you ever wondered how long you’ve been following someone on Twitch? It’s a simple question, but it can tell you a lot about your Twitch account and the growth of the platform. Plus, streamers LOVE seeing how long viewers have stuck around.

In this short guide we’ll give the tools to find out your Twitch follow age of all of your favorite channels.

What does Twitch Followage Mean?

“Followage” refers to the amount of time that has elapsed since a viewer first started following a specific Twitch channel or streamer. The following date is typically displayed in years, months, and days or even down to minutes and seconds, showing viewers how long they have been a part of a channel’s community.

How To Find Twitch Follow Age Using The Twitch Center Followage Tool

There are plenty of third party websites that utilize Twitch’s official API to check followage on any channel you are currently following. We’ll be using the online Twitch Center, one of the many third-party tools that which pulls user data straight from the Twitch servers to give you exact follow date info.

1. Open Your Web Browser: Launch your preferred browser and go to the Twitch Center Followage tool.
2. Click on Follow Date: From the home page of Twitch Center, click on the Follow Date button.
   
3. Enter Your Twitch Username: Where it says “username”, enter the name of your Twitch username.
4. Enter the Name of Twitch Channel: Next, you’ll enter the name of the channel you want to check your followage in the “channel” box. (Make sure to check for any spelling errors)
   
5. Check Date: Now that you have all the required info entered, click the “Check Date” button to get the exact date you started following the channel entered. If you at some point unfollowed, then refollowed it will only show the most recent follow date.
