The new social app βClubhouseβ is trending at the moment and some members have a party or celebration emoji π next to their profile picture. If you have been wondering what that means, hereβs the answer.
The party emoji on the Clubhouse App β this is what it means
The celebration emoji π 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.
