Live video streaming app Periscope for iOS has been updated with a new privacy feature that enables blocking of an inappropriate comment on a broadcast.
With updated Periscope app version 1.1.2, you will be able to block any comment in way that it is only visible to you as “blocked” and the blocked users won’t know about it. This will essentially help you get rid of the nasty trolls within a livestream.
Periscope for iOS v1.1.2 also enables editing of full name along with description and photo from your profile. Even the username is now visible from your profile too.
Other changes include featured users section redesigning, as well as the broadcast share sheet and more. Checkout the full changelog below.

[+] Redesigned the featured users section, as well as the broadcast share sheet.
Other changes:
