Hello good people! Today I'm gonna show you how to install Clubhouse on Android. Yes, you heard it right. Clubhouse. Android. Well, isn't it an iOS exclusive app?? Ha, nope. Not anymore. Thanks to some random Russian programmer I found on Github. Kudos to him. So, let's get to the point.
1. Download the Clubhouse app
Of course, download the .apk file. You can download it from here: https://github.com/grishka/Houseclub/releases (Credit to the author of the app github.com/grishka). Download the .apk from the latest release. Yes, the app name is Houseclub, not Clubhouse.
2. Install the .apk file
Yes, just install the .apk file. If you encounter some permission issues, just give the permission.
3. Enter your phone number
Enter your phone number, then you'll receive a code. At first, I was skeptical that this app would work. But when I got an SMS message from AUTHMSG, I was surprised that this is actually a legit app. Enter the code that you got from the SMS.
4. Have somebody invites you
After you received the code and logged in, you'll see this message.
This means that you are not yet registered. As this is an invite-only app, have somebody with an actual Clubhouse app invites you. Ask them to add your number to their contact and invite you to the Clubhouse via phone number.
After that, you'll be able to enter your name, your username, and profile picture to register your account
5. Done!
Voila, congratulations! Now you are one of those cool people with access to the not-so-exclusive-anymore app! Congrats, now you can show off to your friends that you're on Clubhouse too! Here's the screenshot of my Clubhouse running on Samsung Galaxy A51 (Android 10) :
FAQ
Is it safe?
Yeah well, looking at the app permission, it's safe enough I think. The permissions for this app are just Microphone and Phone Call. No suspicious activities.
What works and what doesn't?
I'm quoting from the app creator's Github page (https://github.com/grishka/Houseclub), here :
