South Africa was lumped into the rest of the world segment, with the likes of Brazil, Russia, India and Nigeria getting exclusive releases before us, but now the app is available to install from the local Google Play Store.

The app’s official Twitter page confirmed its global rollout in the early hours of Friday morning, with South Africa getting access from about 10:30 onwards. As such, you won’t have to wait until this afternoon if you’ve been clamouring to see what the all the fuss about this invite-only chat app is all about.

Having installed the app our own Android smartphones, the set up process is similar to that of WhatsApp or WeChat, with users prompted to plug in their contact number. After which a security code is sent to the device you plan to use Clubhouse on. Once you’ve punched that in, you’ll be prompted to enter your first and last name.
