Recently Facebook is testing the Hotline app to rival the infamous Clubhouse App. Let’s be honest everyone around us is talking about the Clubhouse App. Even our favorite celebrities like Drake, Oprah Winfrey and many more are going all crazy over this app.
Well still if you are someone who hasn’t heard about the Clubhouse and is having a major FOMO then you need not to worry. Idea Usher experts are here to tell you everything you need to know about this app and its new rival- the Hotline app.
Clubhouse is an audio-based, invitation-only, social networking platform for both Android and iOS based users. The users can communicate with thousands of other users via voice chat rooms.
First introduced on iOS by Paul Davinson and Rohan Seth of Alpha Exploration in March 2020, the beta version of Clubhouse was introduced on Android in May 2021.
Since then it has been in talks all over the world. Youngsters all over the world are going crazy for Clubhouse.
The app gained a lot of popularity during the Covid-19 pandemic. It has over more than 10 million weekly users. Furthermore, Clubhouse also claims that there are more than 300,000 chat rooms created on Clubhouse per day. These numbers speak for themselves. After all this, one must be wondering what this hype is all about?
The app witnessed significant growth in its popularity when celebrities like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg appeared on it. Similarly, the app gained massive popularity in Germany when German podcast hosts Philipp Klöckner and Philipp Gloeckler started an invitation chain on Telegram. The invitation chain brought in many German journalists, politicians, etc on the app.
All these factors contributed to the massive popularity of the Clubhouse app.
After closing the new series C round of financing and funding, Clubhouse is reportedly valued at 4 billion USD. Andrew Chen of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz led this new round of funding.
Due to its massive popularity many companies such as Facebook (Hotline app), Spotify ,Discord and even Twitter are testing apps and their versions of audio based chat rooms to directly compete with the Clubhouse.
So this was all about the chat rooms on the Clubhouse app. In the next segment of the blog we will discuss the top features of the Clubhouse app.
