How to manage your Periscope account

How do I edit my Periscope privacy settings?

Your Periscope privacy settings can be edited on iOS, Android, and web. These settings allow you to:

• Turn the Superfans feature on or off. Turning off Superfans means that you will not have Superfans on your profile and you will not show up on someone else’s Superfan list.
• Choose whether or not you want us to show you broadcasts similar to those you have watched before. Note: this setting is only supported on iOS and Android.
• Choose whether or not you want others on Periscope to find you using your Facebook friend list. Note: you’ll only see this setting if you have a Facebook account connected to your Periscope account.

What if I delete my Twitter account or change my phone number?
 

Your Twitter account, Facebook account, Google account, or phone number (depending on which you used to sign up) is the key to your Periscope account. A Twitter account can only access one Periscope account the same way that a phone number can only access one Periscope account. If you lose access to account you use to log into your account  or change your phone number, you will not be able to access your Periscope account.
