First, d 'now on the social network will no longer be accessible by invitation only, also because it seems that there are 10 million people on the waiting list. This was announced by co-founders Paul Davison and Rohan Seth, while a spokesman said that the waiting list will be disposed of over time. In a blog post, Clubhouse says that even though the invitation-only system worked well, it's time to open the conversation to everyone.

“We have been able to grow the Clubhouse in a measured and prevent things from breaking as we increased. But we always wanted Clubhouse to be open, ”argued the platform.

This change comes just a week after Clubhouse launched its private chat, Backchannel, which the team says has seen 10 million messages sent within the first day of launch and more than 90 million in the first week.

In addition to the announcement of the opening to all, Clubhouse also presented a new logo, as well as a new app icon: Justin “Meezy "Williams, manager of rapper 21 Savage.

Clubhouse was the big social news of early 2021, reaching over 8 million downloads in the App Store in February, but its popularity has declined in recent months . In April, app downloads dropped to 900,000 also due to the arrival of Twitter and Spotify above all in that market.

The fact that anyone can now participate in Clubhouse rooms and conversations can help the platform grow after increased competition. Or at least that's what they hope from the company.
