Facebook has announced a range of new audio social options to tap into the Clubhouse-led trend. Given Facebook's massive reach it could be a threat to Clubhouse’s growth.
Clubhouse is a social audio chat app where users have the ability to tune into interviews, conversations, and discussions between people on various topics. Think of the platform as a podcast, or a streaming service like Twitch, only the content is live audio. Once the discussion has finished, the content is gone and there are no recordings available afterward.
Despite launching in May 2020, by the end of the year Clubhouse had over 600,000 registered users, despite a lack of presence on Android devices and online.
