Though Clubhouse can be accessed by all Android users it will still only be accessible via an invite-only process. So even when millions of people will be able to access the platform, only those who’ve been invited will actually be able to log in. 

Clubhouse’s invite-only approach has been its biggest strength but on the other hand it’s also become a challenge, particularly as Twitter has accelerated the growth of its own Clubhouse-like Spaces tool.

Similarly with Facebook as the company has just launched the first stage of live testing for its Clubhouse-like audio social options.

According to Daily Category report, Clubhouse downloads have been slow down in numbers but are expected to now see a boost as Android users come into the fray.

The question is will Clubhouse be benefitted to users after the android launch? It’s too early to speak about this entirely but the challenge before Clubhouse is rising – and it likely needs to accelerate user access a lot faster to keep up with the competition.
