Twitter has announced that Android users can now join Spaces- the platform’s audio chat rooms. The feature which is considered a competition to Clubhouse was launched to iOS users in January.
Although they can join and listen to Spaces, very few can launch or host their own chat rooms.
In January, Twitter said it was rolling out the feature giving priority to women and marginalized groups. Now Twitter android users can join in and listen to Spaces.
