Greetings testers! 
Even after the release of Clubhouse on Android, big companies are still trying to jump on a voice chat hype train. Spotify released its Greenroom app in the Early Access mode and Facebook was testing its audio rooms solution along with Mark Zuckerberg.
Facebook feels super slow in this, like if they would give this task to their WhatsApp dev team so it will take them about a year to release something.
In the case of Spotify, it is cool that they made it a standalone app and that it doesn’t require an invite.
So, Spotify is ok, but let’s see what else did we get this week 🔥
What’s new?
