Clubhouse develops a new way of inviting friends to chat called “Wave”

Clubhouse is not just an app you can launch to attend conferences of famous people. It has different types of rooms that you can use, including those where you can have intimate and private chats with friends – and in the future, you may be able to invite those friends to chat by waving to them. Jane Manchun Wong, famous for her reverse engineering applications for finding hidden experimental features, has discovered that Clubhouse is working on a new way to invite contacts to have an audio conversation.

If the feature is widely distributed, Clubhouse will add a “Wave” button on user profiles that looks like the Wave button you see when you first connect with someone on Messenger. By tapping on it, a friend will know you want to chat and the app will only open a room for you if they respond.

Clubhouse started out as an invite-only audio app for iOS that you’ll need to join a waitlist to enter. In the last few months, however, it has released an app for Android and opened its doors to everyone. Famous figures like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg previously used a place to hold discussions in open rooms where users can hold public conversations with listeners. This feature, however, might make it more appealing for more casual use and might convince users not to jump on another app when it’s time to talk to family and friends.
