Audio-based social networking platform Clubhouse is lastly on Android, after being an iOS unique app for over a 12 months. The Android app for Clubhouse can be out there in beta on the Google working system in the US, permitting customers to enroll and take part in its audio-only chat rooms. Clubhouse stated that it has launched the Android app in a beta section in order to get suggestions, repair any points, and to work on including few remaining options. “Our plan over the following few weeks is to gather suggestions from the neighborhood, repair any points we see and work so as to add a few remaining options like funds and membership creation earlier than rolling it out extra broadly,” the company said in a blog post.
Clubhouse said that the Android app will roll out to other English-speaking markets and the rest of the world in the coming days or weeks. Users outside the US will be able to pre-register for the app via the Clubhouse page in the Google Play store. Users will be notified when the app is available in their area. Despite the Android app launch, Clubhouse will remain an invite-only platform, meaning it is still not open to everyone.
Clubhouse has been the talk of the town since its beginning. The app gained popularity in Silicon Valley in its early stages, so much so that other apps copied Clubhouse’s audio-only features like Twitter’s Spaces feature. Apart from Twitter, Discord has added Stage Channels, and Facebook, Spotify, Slack, LinkedIn, and Reddit are all in the process of adding similar audio-only features to their services. Clubhouse is currently valued at about $4 billion.
In its statement announcing the launch, Clubhouse acknowledged its rapid growth, and said that it has grown faster than expected. “The load (from excess amount of users) stressed our systems—causing widespread server outages and notification failures, and surpassing the limits of our early discovery algorithms,” Clubhouse stated.
