Clubhouse has launched its new text messaging feature Backchannel to all iOS and Android users. The Backchannel feature was accidently leaked by users in June during its beta-testing program.
The new Backchannel feature helps users to send texts one-on-one or host group chats. Clubhouse users can also enable options to disable message requests from users they have not followed on the app. Clubhouse’s Backchannel aims to assist moderators to better manage and host public rooms. Moreover, users can also reach out to other individuals in the room to ask questions and clear doubts with the help of the Backchannel feature.
Although the text messaging feature currently does not allow users to send image or video files, a Clubhouse spokesperson has revealed that the app will soon roll out new features to its Backchannel.
