Clubhouse has launched a protected profile setting to make its users’ profile only available to people who they approve as followers.
“We’ve been humbled to hear so many stories from people on the ground in Ukraine, to listen to Russians speaking out against the war, and to find that–no matter the hour–the 24/7 Ukraine Sitrep room has been there for us to process the invasion and its impact on the world.
“We’re grateful we’ve become a meeting place for people around the world to connect during this time, but we also know that times of conflict and upheaval make it increasingly important to be mindful of your presence online and what you share,” Clubhouse explained.
How it works:
- Visit your settings ⚙️ and toggle on protected profile
- This allows you to approve your followers
- Only your followers will be able to see the rooms, clubs, and replays on your profile
- It also makes you less visible on Clubhouse in general. For example, users you haven’t approved as followers won’t be able to know when you’re online and we won’t recommend that people you don’t know follow you.
Your name, username, bio, and any linked social handles will be available and you can update them as you see fit. You can also still block users.
“We hope this is helpful to those looking to use their voices to speak out or anyone who wants more control over their presence online,” Clubhouse added.
