“Twitter Spaces” increased its Beta Testing to Android users; Find Out More
Twitter, the internet’s favourite microblogging platform, has amped up beta testing for its new feature- “Twitter Spaces”- for Andriod users. The new feature seems to be modelled around the Clubhouse’s conference call spaces. The feature lets users create public and private audio chat rooms. Spaces had initially begun testing only on iOS devices but have now expanded and brought Android operating systems into its purview as well.
“We’re expanding to give more people a chance to join Spaces and listen in! Rolling out over the next few days, people with Android will now be able to join, listen, and speak in conversations over Spaces,” Twitter has said in a statement.
Twitter executives are still saying that while Spaces is still in its early days, the thing that they are working on right now is moderation. With the popularity of podcasts and the millions that listen to them, Twitter Spaces can also be monetised by these influencers, which is also a part of the appeal of the new feature.
Twitter has said that Spaces will be rolled out to select Android users over the coming weeks. “Keep an eye out for the purple aura in your fleeting and tap to join. You can also join Spaces via a link shared with you (via Tweets, DMs). People on Android can also use emoji reactions, view captions, and be invited to speak in a Space,” the company said. “Other updates to come include the ability to see more of who’s in your space as well as naming your Space to add context for new joiners.”
It also confirmed that Twitter Spaces as a feature will not be restricted to any region.
