As Axios correctly highlights, live audio apps exploded in popularity during the pandemic. Clubhouse, one of the leading social audio apps for Android and iOS, revealed over the weekend that it is now averaging 700,000 live audio rooms daily – up from just 300,000 in May.
Spotify, meanwhile, scooped up live audio app developer Betty Labs for an undisclosed sum back in March. Betty Labs main product was an audio app called Locker Room that focused on sports conversations. It seems Spotify has since rolled that tech into a new product called Greenroom that’s focused on music, sports and culture.
