Is error 0495ba16 preventing you from login into the app and watching your favorite streams? There are two workarounds that you can use to solve this problem and watch Twitch on your PS4 console.
Twitch error 0495ba16 has been plaguing PS4 users for a long time. If you try to log out and then log in to Twitch, you may not be able to sign in to the app after that. As of writing, there is no permanent fix in sight but the workarounds listed in this guide should help you to get rid of this error code.
Potential Fixes for Twitch Error 0495ba16
Fix 1 – Keep on hitting the sign-in button
While this is not a very technical or complex solution, but rather a workaround, it did work for many users. All you need to do is keep on continuously hitting the sign-in button for one or two minutes.
Don’t lose hope is nothing happens during the first 30 seconds or the first minute. Just keep on hitting the sign-in button and you should be able to log in eventually. The only downside is that you need to repeat this process every time the app closes.
Fix 2 – Unlink your Twitch account
- On your PS4, go to Settings
- Select Sharing and Broadcast
- Go to Link With Other Services
- Select Twitch
- Select Link Your Account With Twitch
- Hit the Sign Out button
- Go to the Twitch website but on a different device this time, we suggest using a PC
- Click on your avatar
- Go to Settings
- Select the Connections tab
- Link your Twitch account to the PS4 again.
As in the case of the first solution, you may need to repeat these steps every time error 0495ba16 appears on the screen.
