Tiktok Parent Company Makes An Application Similar To A Clubhouse

JAKARTA - The rising popularity of the Clubhouse application has attracted the attention of a number of technology giants to create similar audio-based applications. Previously, Twitter and Xiaomi were reportedly developing a similar application.

Now, TikTok's parent company Bytedance plans to do the same. Bytedance glanced at the app and plans to make the same thing after a conversation discussing TikTok at the Clubhouse.

Launching Reuters, Bytedance declined to comment on the topic. However, based on reports from a source, the company has just started developing the same application.

Clubhouse's popularity immediately skyrocketed since several influential people recommended the audio-based app through their posts. The platform can also accommodate as many as eight thousand participants. At that time, Elon Musk filled a discussion event held through the Clubhouse.

This application was blocked in China in February. This gives the Chinese tech giant the opportunity to build a similar application. Xiaomi is reportedly launching an application called MiTalk in the near future.

Apart from that, Twitter is also interested in doing the same thing. The company led by Jack Dorsey released an application called Spaces. This audio-based application is available for Android. As for the iOS version, Spaces was launched in January 2021.

“Friends on Android, our beta is growing! From today on you will be able to join and talk in any (Space). IMMEDIATELY you will be able to make it yourself but we are still working on a few things, "said the Twitter.
