Clubhouse could finally arrive on Android and ditch invite-only joining by the summer, CEO Paul Davison said

• Invite-only audio app Clubhouse could launch on Android as soon as this summer.
• CEO and co-founder Paul Davison said it would take the company "a couple of months" to join Android.
• Clubhouse could also ditch its invite-only feature "in the coming months," he said.

Clubhouse co-founder and CEO Paul Davison said on Monday that the app could launch on Android this summer.

In a town hall meeting, Davison said Clubhouse was working "really hard" to get onto Android, but that it would take "a couple of months," TechCrunch first reported.

The app is currently only available on iOS, and users can only join if they receive an invite from someone with an account - but Davison also said that the invitation-only feature of the app may be dropped "in the coming months."

On Monday, he said that "it's going to be really important that we just open up to everyone," adding that "Android's going to be really important."

Davison's comments come one month after CNBC reported Clubhouse had hired an Android software developer, suggesting an Android app could be coming soon.

The company wrote in a January blog post that work on the Android app would begin "soon," but didn't say when the app would be available for users to download.
