After five years of running, Twitter decided to discontinue its Periscope service for good. Twitter’s live video streaming app was acquired back in 2015 and had been decreasing in popularity ever since. Also, since Twitter embedded a live video streaming service in its app itself, there’s no reason for Periscope to exist.
Twitter Shutting Down Periscope Next Year
Twitter has seen so much scope in Periscope’s abilities for the future, making it to buy from makers even before its launch in 2015. While it did good in the initial days, it didn’t reinvent itself to withstand rivals’ competition. As it has seen a decrease in popularity, eventually, Twitter decided to shut down for good.
Some personal news: the Periscope app will be going away next year. We’re here to say goodbye. ???? We appreciate all the support, learnings, and broadcasts from our vibrant creator community.
