The live broadcasts have had their greatest success during this year 2015. And they have been the perfect platform for disclose all kinds of news, show different perspectives of an event, or even expand such strange fashions as watching people eat. All this through applications such as Periscope which has only been in operation for a few months, conquering every again to more users.A very young application that still has a lot to improve, and that seems to take the first steps in that direction by solving one of the biggest problems since its inception:Abusive notifications
This is why the latest update of the Periscope app for the iOS platform raises the resolution for this problem: mute broadcasts The good thing is that it is possible to apply this feature individually. In other words, mute only those users you want A great point in avoiding those users who do nothing but retransmit and that get the terminal to do no more than sound with each of their broadcasts.
To mute a contact on Periscope you just have to update the application and access the profile of the specific userThus, in addition to the button to follow or unfollow, just to the right of it, there is a new icon with the symbol of a bell This is where you can mute the notifications of said user, preventing it from ringing every time one of its live shows begins. However, this does not mean that, if you are a follower, your broadcasts will appear on the screen when you enter the application This prevents abusive users and their constant notifications of broadcasts, but without losing the opportunity to follow them if the application is actively accessed
But the possibility of muting broadcast notifications is not the only novelty that the new version of Periscope brings to iOS Now the user can also select their preferred languages Something that will affect the global list of retransmissions, being able to see those that are using any of those languages, beyond the default of the terminal as was the case up to now.
The statistics of the user's own retransmissions have also begun to be displayed. By viewing the old live streams, it is possible to find out visit data and other interesting details about their history Finally, this version of Periscope take advantage of iOS 8 Handoff This is the ability to start watching a broadcast on a device like a iPhone, for example, and continue it from the computer Mac without suffering cuts of any kind. Of course, both devices must be using the same iCloud account and have Bluetooth connectivityon going.
In short, a most remarkable update. And it solves one of the main problems of Periscope and that many users have suffered from the beginning, being forced to not follow certain users to avoid their constant notifications , even if they were attracted by its broadcasts.The new version of the application is already available through App Store for free The Android users will still have to wait.
