Twitter’s live-streaming app Periscope got a few updates on Monday, making it lot easier to use for those not already locked into the Twitter ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Now you can use your phone number to sign up for Periscope, with no need for a Twitter account at all.<\/p>\n
The version 1.0.4 update, detailed in this post on Medium, also adds the ability to reply directly to comments in Periscope chats \u2014 a change that could vastly improve the app’s social interaction features.<\/p>\n
And because not all Periscope users are always on their best behavior, the app will now notify all users watching when a user has been blocked \u2014 effectively calling out any trolls on a particular stream.<\/p>\n
