Clubhouse and Twitter Spaces, the two leading audio-based social media platforms. Twitter Spaces are currently exclusive to iOS users but is likely to expand their reach to the Android platform in the near future. Both platforms have seen an increase in popularity. With its unique style of live, unfiltered interactions, these social media apps are drawing users.
Clubhouse is an invite-only service. Meanwhile, it, has not yet specified a launch date for its Android app. But has stated that it is actively trying to make the service available to a larger audience. The Android software has been under beta testing by the Twitter Organization. According to leaks, an official release is likely to take place in the coming months.
Twitter Spaces for Android App
Twitter Spaces, on the other hand, has hinted at a more imminent release for its Android app. Right Now, the company is conducting testing and refining the app’s features. According to leaks, the launch is likely to take place in March. This expansion will significantly increase Twitter Spaces’ users count. It has enough potential to challenge Clubhouse dominance in the audio social media space.
The arrival of Clubhouse and Twitter Spaces on Android is eagerly anticipated by users who have been locked out of these platforms due to their iOS exclusivity. The expansion will undoubtedly fuel further growth and competition in the audio-based social media landscape. Thus, offering users more options for engaging in real-time conversations and connecting with others. Also Read: Twitter will charge you premium, to access its new paid features
Twitter Spaces for Android: Open Testing Underway
The social media app is expanding its popular Twitter Spaces feature to Android devices. Thus, allowing users to host and participate in live audio conversations directly from their Android smartphones. This expansion will showcase the Twitter’s efforts to bridge the gap between iOS and Android users. Thus, providing a more unified experience across platforms.
According to a recent report from Android Police, Twitter has initiated open testing of the Spaces feature for Android users. This means that a wider pool of Android users can now access the Spaces tab. Just like Clubhouse, Twitter users can host their own Spaces, and interact with live audio conversations just like their iOS counterparts.
Previously, Android users were limited to listening to Spaces hosted by iOS users. While they could still react using emojis and view captions, they were unable to fully participate in the conversations by speaking or hosting their own Spaces.
The open testing of Spaces on Android is a welcome development for the platform’s growing Android user base. It expands the reach of Spaces, fostering more inclusive and engaging interactions among Twitter users across all devices.
Early Access Unveils Glitches and Interface Variations
Twitter’s early access testing of the Spaces feature for Android devices has revealed some initial bugs and interface variations. While the feature is currently available only to a select group of Android beta program participants. This latest feature offers a glimpse into Twitter’s plans to expand its live audio capabilities beyond iOS.
Like the Clubhouse, the early preview of the Twitter Spaces feature on Android is experiencing some technical glitches and UI inconsistencies. While the core functionality of hosting and participating in Spaces is intact, there are areas that require refinement before a wider rollout.
Interestingly, the testing has revealed two distinct user interfaces for captions. Thus, suggesting that Twitter is exploring different presentation options for this feature. This attention to detail is indicative of Twitter’s commitment to providing a seamless and engaging Spaces experience for Android users.
The early access testing of Twitter Spaces on Android places the platform at an advantage over Clubhouse, which has yet to announce a release date for its Android app. With Twitter actively refining its Spaces feature for Android, Clubhouse may face increasing competition in the live audio social media space.
Twitter Spaces: Availability
Twitter has already announced that it is currently working on launching the Twitter Space feature for Android users. A twitter employee, Danny Singh, made a reply to a user query over Twitter. In this reply he tweeted that the company is ready to launch this feature in March for all the Android devices. For those who did not get the early access, may have to wait a little longer to access this feature. With the launch of Spaces, Twitter will be giving direct competition to the likes of Clubhouse.

Additionally, the current version which is under Open Testing, is likely to be the Final version. Complementing as it has had a lot of bugs, some of these bugs might end up in the final version. To access this feature, users are needed to be on Twitter version 8.84.0-alpha.06. It is being advised for the users to probably stick with Beta version of the app. This is because the beta version is considered to be more stable than the alpha version of the app. The path is long and thus, we have to wait for the final confirmation about the actual launch date from the company.
