Clubhouse was born in March 2020, developed by Paul Davison and former Google employee Rohan Seth, and launched in April 2020. Clubhouse was officially launched on the Android platform. Meanwhile, Clubhouse is a perfect blend of social and knowledge, where users can learn about knowledgeable content inside various industries, as well as meet authorities within each industry. In Clubhouse, thousands of chat rooms are now crowed with people who are hosting game shows, rewatching NBA games, singing opera, discussing philosophy, meeting other musicians, sharing travel tips, running support groups, and meditating together.

And Clubhouse's popular stems from its product set-up and the celebrity effect. At the same time, It is functionally made up of a community of voice chat rooms that do not support video or text, or playback of recordings, and each chat room can hold up to 5,000 people. It does not require the moderator's permission to join the chat room, but rather a click to join, and everyone in the room can "raise their hand" to speak, and then the moderator can agree to chat on the microphone. Users can only communicate with each other by voice connection, not by recording or taping. Clubhouse's voice social model has attracted a large number of curious users to experience it.

A total of 422,473 reviews have been found in the Google Play Store with a rating of 4.6 stars. It has been installed more than 10,000,000 times and was newest updated on January 12, 2022. It has received a 4.8 stars from 680.8K ratings in the Apple App Store.

Clubhouse allows users to enter their friends' phone numbers to send invitations instead of having the system read their address book data. When users enter the invitation screen, they will see an additional area at the top to enter their phone number, so those who don't want to open their contacts can enter their phone number to invite others.

The goal of the Clubhouse is to create a more human social experience. Through Clubhouse’s service, you are able to deepen friendships, meet new people and learn. At the same time, Clubhouse focuses on knowledge socialization, where users can create a room and start a discussion on a certain topic, and everyone can speak, while other users can listen to the discussion in the room. The discussions are not necessarily in text form, but rather in voice format, so sometimes you can feel more like a debate.
