Twitter is reportedly testing its voice-based chat rooms feature ‘Spaces’ with select Android users. The feature is expected to be available for all users in March, a Twitter spokesperson said. 

Twitter Spaces is very similar to the Clubhouse app which became quite popular during the pandemic and following Elon Musk’s chat with Robinhood CEO on the platform. Currently, the app is invite only and available on the iOS platform.

As the app has managed to capture great attention in such a short amount of time, tech giants are also working on similar products to get a piece of the cake. Last month, two people familiar with the matter said that Facebook is building  a Clubhouse-like voice chat app. 

Twitter, on the other hand, announced its Spaces feature back in December. But, just like Clubhouse, the feature was available only in iOS since then. 

However, some select Android users in Twitter’s Beta program have reportedly gained access to the voice-chat feature.
