Periscope App Gets Skip Ahead in Replays, New Trending Section, 3D Touch Support, More

The Periscope app from Twitter has been updated with numerous improvements including Skip Ahead in Replays, a new Trending section, 3D Touch support, and more.

Periscope lets you broadcast live video to the world. Going live will instantly notify your followers who can join, comment and send you hearts in real time. The more hearts you get, the higher they flutter on the screen.

What's New In This Version:
[+] SKIP AHEAD IN REPLAYS: When watching a replay, press and hold to instantly jump into any part of the broadcast.
[+] MAPS 2.0: Replays (with location turned on) now appear on the map, giving you a 24 hours perspective of any specific geographic location. Zoom further into an area to reveal more broadcasts.


Other changes:
[+] New “Trending” section in the People Tab highlights an evolving list of recently popular broadcasters.
[+] Application Shortcuts for people with an iPhone 6s or 6s+. Use 3D Touch on the Periscope icon to start a broadcast, search for broadcasters, or teleport somewhere in the world.
[+] Thumbnails for live broadcast update periodically to more accurately reflect what is currently happening.
[+] Fixed a bug that would occasionally upload the wrong picture when sharing a screenshot capture on Twitter.

You can download Periscope from the App Store for free.
