What platforms are supporting the app?
Clubhouse is currently available only on iOS. Any
iPhone user can download the app, which is where you
listen to conversations and how you participate.
Cool, so I can just sign up, right?
Nope. At the time of this writing, you need an invitation
from an existing Clubhouse user to get access. Every
new user gets two invites, and they earn more as they
use the app.
Can I use Clubhouse on the iPad?
Sure, but it’s not optimized for iPadOS. So you’ll be
using the app in a small window, or looking at it in a
weird, zoomed-in 2x size.
It’s not on Android? WTH!
An Android app is in the works. But the developers
want to scale up slowly, and there are more Android
users than iPhone users worldwide. Starting on Android
might have killed the Clubhouse servers after a publicity
stunt (like, say, having Musk in a room).
So all I need is the app? There’s no website?
The only website the company has is joinclubhouse.
com, and that’s simply a pointer to the Apple App Store.
(Don’t confuse this service with clubhouse.io, either.
That’s a project manager.)
How much of my data does Clubhouse want
when I register?
You have to give Clubhouse your phone number and
your real name (in theory). You can register the
eventual username you want for the service before you
even get an invite. The person inviting you simply needs
your phone number. You’ll get a link texted to you,
telling you to visit joinclubhouse.com/app and sign in
with that number.
