Clubhouse has been in the spotlight of the internet since last year. While it enjoys a certain level of popularity, the network itself has been very limited in terms of who it can reach. Clubhouse opened its doors to a select few Android users last week, but, in contrast to its slow pace in recent months, it is rapidly expanding the app's availability globally.

Clubhouse's popularity may have been due to perfect timing. It arrived just as people were experiencing what has been labeled "Zoom fatigue," and it offered a human interaction that went beyond text messaging.

The social network was initially exclusive to iOS, but last year it promised an Android app. Signs of that app's existence appeared last month, and Clubhouse officially announced its beta last week, though the app had some significant limitations.
One of those restrictions will be lifted in the coming days, Clubhouse revealed on Twitter. On Tuesday, it will make the app available to users in Japan, Brazil, and Russia, followed by Nigeria and India on Friday morning. By Friday, it expects the Android app to be available for download worldwide.

However, you will need to be invited to join its network, even if you have the app. Despite its rapid but long-term expansion, Clubhouse still wants to maintain what it calls “measured growth” and is intentionally limiting access to its network – at least for now.
