The Android Version Of The Clubhouse Will Be Available Globally In A Week

Aplikasi Clubhouse (The Verge)

JAKARTA - Last March, Twitter launched the Spaces feature. This feature has a Clubhouse-like service, which is an audio-only chat that can be streamed. The ease of access from both Android and iOS makes the platform quick to gather users.

That's what the Clubhouse didn't have in the first place. Since its launch, the app has only been available exclusively on the iOS platform. And after running for almost a year, the developer finally released the Android version –unfortunately only limited in certain countries.

"Our plan over the coming weeks is to gather feedback from the community, fix bugs and issues found, and add new features such as payments and club creation before it is finally rolled out more widely", the company wrote in a post on its official blog, Sunday, May 9, 2021.

Android rollout continues!

🌐 Rest of world throughout the week, and available worldwide by Friday afternoon

Available In More Countries

When the Android version of the Clubhouse app was released, the company made it available only to users in the United States. The company also explained that the app will be available in more countries over the coming weeks. The release was done gradually.

Yesterday, Sunday, May 16, the company announced through its official account on Twitter regarding the schedule of the launch of the Android version of the app. The plan is that the app will be available in Russia, Japan, and Brazil on Tuesday. It was followed by Nigeria and India on Friday.

"Throughout the week, the rest of the world will get the app, until it becomes available globally on Friday afternoon", the Clubhouse wrote on Twitter yesterday.

Still Emphasizing Exclusivity

The launch of the Android version of the app will certainly bring a new wave of users to the app. It's just that, the company is still implementing the same user system. Namely the waiting list scheme and the invitation system.

According to the company, it is done in order to keep growth accountable. However, the limitations will gradually be lifted. Because, in the summer, the company said it was ready to welcome millions of Clubhouse users who filled the waiting list. But for users of the iOS app only.

Not only that, but the company also plans to add language support. So that the application can be used by the wider community and comes from various countries.

"So that people from all over the world can feel the Clubhouse with the taste as it should be", explained the company.
