The app is compatible with Android devices running Android 8.0 or later.
The app works on an invite-only model to sign up new users. Therefore, if you are an Android user you may have to look for an invite to start using the Clubhouse app.
Earlier this month, Clubhouse founders said that the invite and waitlist system will go on for some time. However, as the company continues to scale out the backend, it plans ‘to begin opening up even further, welcoming millions more people in from the iOS waitlist, expanding language support, and adding more accessibility features, so that people worldwide can experience Clubhouse in a way that feels native to them.”
Clubhouse has been the talk of the town for a while now and various big players of the social media domain have been working or already rolled out a similar functionality on their portals.
Even though Clubhouse was an iOS-only app for a long time, it was also quite popular and in-demand among Android users.
Back in March, Google Play Store was being flooded with clone apps of Clubhouse.
These apps were flagged by WeLiveSecurity as a platform via which, “cybercriminals are trying to take advantage of the popularity of Clubhouse to deliver malware that aims to steal users’ login information for a variety of online services.”
The report had explained how the malicious package, which comes with a trojan nicknamed “BlackRock” by ThreatFabric, is presented from a website that has the look and feel of the authentic app. Once the victim is hooked into downloading and installing BlackRock, the trojan tries to steal their credentials using an overlay attack.
