Social audio app, Clubhouse has launched “Wave”, a feature that allows users to start a private chat with friends by waving virtually to indicate they are available. The company disclosed this in a tweet, saying “There are over 700k rooms opened every day on Clubhouse. Yes, that includes the big moments you see in the news — but it’s also lots of lovely, small rooms between friends. So, we built a new feature to make those casual chats even easier! Say hello to Wave.”


The company also explained that “To send a Wave, swipe right on the Hallway or tap the dots icon at the bottom left of the screen. Then tap the wave button next to the person you’d like to chat with. They’ll get a notification that you said hello, and know that you’re open to chatting. If they are too, they can join a private room with you — open just to the people you waved at. You can keep it to one social circle, introduce friends from different groups to each other, or open the room up more broadly and make it for everyone.”


It noted that users can still report private rooms when rules are broken, adding that the new tool is available for both iOS and Android users.
