The audio rooms of Clubhouse have started to get more interesting with more features being added to it. Clubhouse has recently included a text-based messaging option on its app. We all kind of knew that direct messages were soon to be introduced in the app.
Backchannel is a text-based chat feature and allows both one-on-one messaging as well as group chats. It becomes more useful when the moderators can organize their rooms in advance or coordinate live through messaging. It can also accept text-based questions from those who prefer not to talk on a live platform.
The feature now allows one to send links. Both photos and videos can’t be shared now and the sent messages cannot be deleted. From people who don’t follow you, message requests will be received and you can decide whether to accept them or not.
The feature is now available on both iOS and Android devices. To start a chat, click on the paper plane icon near the person’s profile or you can simply swipe right from the main menu.
