The new social app “Clubhouse” is trending at the moment and some members have a party or celebration emoji 🎉 next to their profile picture. If you have been wondering what that means, here’s the answer.
The party emoji on the Clubhouse App – this is what it means
The celebration emoji 🎉 next to a profile picture indicates, that this person is a new member and has been on the app for less than one week. It will disappear after the first full week on the app. It is supposed to make other Clubhouse members aware that you are new on the app and might need some assistance or help finding your way around. Also this way they can welcome you on the app.
When someone is speaking on the Clubhouse app, the mute symbol next to their profile picture will disappear. Usually everyone except the speaker is muted, so you can find the speaker by looking for the profile picture without the muted symbol.
You can invite a Clubhouse member from your contacts to a room by tapping the plus symbol at the bottom and then choosing the member you want to invite to the room.
You can choose different areas of interests when you are invited into the Clubhouse app and set up your profile for the first time. However, you can also add or adjust your interests later in your settings.
