Twitter rolls out “Spaces” for some users in India. Twitter Spaces is a virtual chat room service that allows users to participate in voice chats or host voice chats on the platform.

Twitter Spaces, first announced in November, was available to a limited number of users in December as part of beta testing, and now Twitter has confirmed that it has rolled out the feature to some users in India to test and ask for their feedback .

In response to TechRadarTwitter India confirmed the following: “We gave a small group of different voices, including people in India, access to Spaces to test the feature. By getting feedback from different communities early on, we can make the product better for everyone. The experiment will be expanded over time. “

Twitter Spaces is similar to the new voice-based, invite-only social media platform Clubhouse available only to iOS users from now on. While Android users are still waiting outside the clubhouse, Twitter is working on both the Android and iOS apps at the same time. It even shared a video showing this feature working on both platforms.

While Clubhouse has users such as tech CEOs like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Paytm’s Vijay Shekhar Sharma, apart from other notable names like Silicon Valley investors like Marc Andreessen and Hollywood notables like Tiffany Haddish and Ava DuVernay, the user base is currently limited. This is where Twitter has the opportunity to democratize audio chat discussions thanks to its global presence.

That said, both Twitter and Clubhouse have been in the news lately. Although it has been the latter banned in China after Chinese users began to raise issues such as China-Taiwan relations and the Chinese government’s genocide of Uyghur Muslims. Clubhouse now joins the list of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and others already banned in China.

Twitter, in India, has messed up with the government to remove 1,178 accounts that “could cause trouble.” This warrant is issued under Section 69 (A) of the Information Technology Act that allows the government to act against items and accounts that may pose a threat to public order.
