Audio Social Media App Clubhouse Expands To Android Users
Audio Social Media App Clubhouse Expands To Android Users. After over a year of exclusivity on iOS, Clubhouse is expanding to Android users. During Sunday’s town hall, the audio-only social platform announced the rollout for their Android app, which is available to download for all Android users in the U.S. today. Other English-speaking markets, and soon the rest of the world, will also be able to experience Clubhouse on Android in the coming weeks.
“Our plan over the next few weeks is to collect feedback from the community, fix any issues we see and work to add a few final features like payments and club creation before rolling it out more broadly. With Android, we believe that Clubhouse will feel more complete. We are so grateful to all of the Android users out there for their patience. Whether you are a creator, a club organiser, or someone who just wants to explore, we are so excited to welcome you to the community.” Clubhouse founders Paul Davison and Rohan Seth wrote in a blog post announcing the launch.
“As we head into the summer and continue to scale out the backend, we plan to begin opening up even further, welcoming millions more people in from the iOS waitlist, expanding language support, and adding more accessibility features, so that people worldwide can experience Clubhouse in a way that feels native to them,” the blog post continued.
Clubhouse is an invitation-only social media app for iOS that facilitates auditory communication through rooms that can accommodate groups of up to 5,000 people. The audio-only app hosts virtual rooms for live discussions, with opportunities for individuals to participate through speaking and listening. The app was first introduced to iOS by Paul Davison and Rohan Seth of Alpha Exploration Co. in March 2020. Clubhouse has stated it remains invite-only to ensure that their team is able to manage the growth of their user base and continues refining the app to be capable of supporting a larger audience.
