TWO months after debuting on the iPhone, Twitter announced on Tuesday that it's finally making its live-video app, Periscope, available to Android users as well.

Android users have had to wait to get in on the live-streaming fun, but they are getting something for their pains. For example, users who get interrupted mid-stream by a phone call or message can go back to watching right where they left off. Android users will also have more control over notifications from Periscope, such as being alerted when someone you follow on Twitter broadcasts for the first time, or when someone you follow shares a Periscope stream. People who create new streams can also save replays without having to upload a video file. These features are not available for iPhone users.
