The Hindu
As an increasing number of platforms are opening up their apps for audio-based chat forums, Clubhouse is doubling its efforts to get a slice of the Android pie.

A little over a year after making its debut in iOS, audio-chatting app Clubhouse is now opening its account in Android. The app was launched last March exclusively for iOS users to let connect them with others via chat rooms sans cameras. By the time it was ready for general use to all Apple users in June, ‘zoom fatigue’ was starting to set in, making people log on to Clubhouse to socialise. Within ten months of its launch, the app enabled over two million people, from musicians to stock traders, to meet, to talk and connect on the platform.
