Periscope's first update tackles boring feeds and notification overload
Last week, live-streaming app Periscope burst onto the scene in a flurry of notifications and videos of strangers’ fridges. Now, the Twitter-owned app has released its first update aimed at fixing these (and other) problems.
Periscope version 1.0.1 turns off notifications for new followers by default and automatically puts broadcasts from people you know at the top of your Watch tab. The optional location sharing function has been tweaked to be less revealing (the map that shows users’ whereabouts is now zoomed further out and less precise) and the app’s maker says it’s also improved performance on particularly busy streams. It also promises that an Android version is coming “soon.”
notable broadcasts include tours of national parks…
