Clubhouse’s popularity continues to grow as its beta has landed on the Spanish market. While the app continues to host daily audio chat rooms with celebrities, other platforms are trying to jump on the bandwagon of what appears to be the new trend on social media.
Thus, Instagram would be working on its own version of Clubhouse-style audio chat rooms. After creating Stories (Snapchat) and Reels (TikTok), Facebook-owned Instagram sharpens its wits and intends to try its luck with this new feature.
Instagram has privately advised some content creators on how often to post, offering rare insight into how its mysterious algorithm works.
Has advanced it Alessandro Paluzzi, one of many application researchers who are dedicated to reverse engineering work in order to learn about the hidden code of the platforms and try to access their future functionalities. Paluzzi shared on Twitter A few screenshots of what this new Instagram feature would look like.

XDA-Developer, one of the largest portals on telephony and mobile development, has echoed Paluzzi’s discovery. The new Instagram chat rooms are called Instagram Live Rooms, so it would be continuous with another of the features of the photography app, Instagram Live.
Through Instagram Live, platform users can broadcast live with their mobile camera, and even conduct collaborative broadcasts with up to three other users on the network. All this while the followers can interact with the host through chat.
In one of the researcher’s screenshots, the icon of a microphone is seen next to the well-known icon of a camera. For that reason, XDA-Developer suggests that Instagram could host video chat rooms as well as rooms with only audio conversations.
Instagram incorporates the Reels and Store tabs in its new design
The development of Live Rooms was announced by Instagram itself at the beginning of the month. It’s a statement, the platform abounded in that “the bet” for live broadcasts on the social network was redoubled. The fundamental difference with Clubhouse is that while in the app that has become popular in Silicon Valley it hosts more massive conversations and audio rooms, in Instagram Live Rooms up to four people can participate in the conversation before the eyes of thousands of followers.
“Since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, we have seen that people on Instagram used Live in different ways. Last year, there were special moments on Live, such as informative talks on science and guidelines for COVID-19, interviews with celebrities and rap battles that broke records, “emphasizes the social network.
“Creators of all stripes, from fitness instructors to musicians, beauty bloggers, chefs and activists, trusted Live to create moments and bring people together to reach their communities in creative ways. We really want to see how many more ideas come from this update so requested “, it has an impact.
All while Instagram tries to consolidate its new feature, Reels, with which it seeks to compete with TikTok and with which the CEO of the platform himself is not entirely happy.
