This comes after Twitter’s announcement earlier this month to open up Spaces globally. The social network said it’ll allow anyone with more than 600 followers to hosta live-audio conversation.
Clubhouse’s move to open up the Android version to users worldwide is to shore up its dwindling user base. The app’s download plummeted from a peak of 9.6 million in February to 922,000 in April,according tothe analytics firmSensor Tower.
Amidst increasing competition, Clubhouse announcedan accelerator program for 50 shows on the platformearlier this month. The company’s co-founder, Paul Davidson, said in the town hall that the firm is exploring new ways to improve discovery, a direct messaging feature, paid events, and subscriptions.
