Another moment is here: the

Clubhouse app, the emerging social network based on Chat Voice, is only open to iOS users, but Facebook - known for its tendency to emulate competitors (aka Tiktok and Snapchat) - may launch a similar product very soon.

According to a photo posted last night (Saturday), the social network will allow users to choose between two types of audio rooms - private or public (live broadcast).

The source of the report is the identification of a blogger and app developer named Alessandro Palozi, who tweeted about the discovery on his Twitter account.

Earlier this month, Palozi announced that Facebook was also looking at another version of audio rooms for Instagram, which will appear as a small microphone icon at the top of the inbox.

The same report indicates that the company has already completed the development of the application and implemented it in trial versions of the application.

For those unfamiliar with the emerging social network, this is a chat-based chat platform, where there are rooms or groups around a particular topic, with one or more speakers, who can also allow others to join the conversation.

Do not see - only hear.

Like in a podcast.

The story behind Clubhouse begins in May 2020, when Paul Davison and Rohan Seth, well-known figures in Silicon Valley, launched an app that works on the opposite principle from what Facebook and Instagram have accustomed us to.

Instead of taxis they offered exclusivity. 

As mentioned, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, was recently interested in the app and even hosted it and talked about augmented reality. Last month it was worth $ 1 billion, with Ayalon Musk having a conversation with "Robin Hood" CEO Vlad Teneb, in a chat that he demanded. The number of participants allowed in the "room".
