Also, Clubhouse is adding the ability to record and replay conversations and download 30-second clips to share on social media or other sites.
Additionally, it has launched a feature that lets users virtually wave at friends inside its app to show they are open to a private chat. A private audio chat room will open when a person accepts the wave.
