Amid growing competition in audio chat services, Live audio app Clubhouse has done away with the invite-only system for letting people join the platform. Clubhouse previously required either an invite from an existing user to join the platform or the users had to request to join a waitlist. The platform witnessed explosive growth in the initial days of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic but now faces competition from social media networks, especially from Twitter Spaces. This means we have removed our waitlist system so that anyone can join,” Clubhouse said in a blog post. The app was initially available only for iOS and in mid-May this year, Clubhouse was launched on Android.
