When Clubhouse started, audio chats on the platform were only available live. When conversations were over, there was no way to access these live chats. But now, the service is adding a new Replay feature to let hosts record audio chats that can be saved to a club or profile. These recordings can be downloaded and shared externally, like on a podcast.
The Replay feature will also support pinned links, which will remain interactive even when listening to the recording after it went live. Those who listen to Replays can skip to the next speaker, pause, scrub, or make 30-second clips. They can also adjust speed to 1.5x or 2x. Creators will see who is listening to Replays, and the hosts will get access to "total room count" so they can see how many people tuned in, whether live or recorded. These Replays will also appear on Clubhouse's discover pages and search beginning next week.

Instagram might be the latest social platform to offer a new subscription option to support creators. Analytics firms Sensor Tower and Apptopia spotted a recent change on the Instagram app listing on iOS. There's a new in-app purchases option named "Instagram Subscriptions," with prices ranging from US$0.99 to $4.99.
Instagram hasn't mentioned what this feature will be, but the Meta-owned company has been working on ways to monetize its platform while offering its creators a way to earn on the app. Earlier this year, the company mentioned that it was working on "Exclusive Stories," which will be a paid feature, so that might be part of this subscription option. If it's shown up on Instagram's app, we might be hearing more about this sooner rather than later.
