Launched in March 2015, the service gained popularity very quickly. And today, April 1, 2021, Twitter announced its closure, writes The Verge. All the main features of the project were transferred to Twitter Live, and the application itself is no longer available in the App Store and Google Play.

Representatives of the social network noted that the decision to close Periscope was made in connection with its merger with Twitter Live. Also, “killing” the project, the company will be able to avoid huge costs to maintain its life.
