Trying to figure out why your contact is not available to invite in the Clubhouse app?
After its release in 2020, Clubhouse slowly caught the people’s attention and now valued at over 1 billion dollars after a year and has a promising potential. Clubhouse brought something new to the table, and everyone wants a piece of it.
Currently, the app is limited to users invited by either a friend or someone they know on the platform. Since it is still in its beta phase, developers decided to restrict users’ numbers until the platform is ready for a full-blown launch.
However, this doesn’t mean that you cannot get into the app. Each user is given two invites which they can use to allow other people to join the Clubhouse.
Now, you’re probably trying to invite someone, but their contact is not available to invite in the Clubhouse app.
When dealing with this issue, there are many factors to consider, and you should be cautious since you cannot cancel the invite once you have sent it. Given that invites are limited, you don’t want to waste them by sending them to a random person.
To help you fix this problem, we will walk you through various methods in resolving your contact not being available to invite in the Clubhouse app.
Let’s get started!
1. Check Clubhouse’s Servers.
As we’ve mentioned, the platform is still in its beta phase, and unexpected errors may occur from time to time. If you encounter any problem with Clubhouse, we recommend that you check its servers’ status first.
Go to their official Twitter page, where their team is active in giving updates about the status of Clubhouse’s servers and its services.
If their servers are down, the best thing you can do for now is to wait. However, you can still do the listed methods below and see if anything works out on your end.
2. Check the Recipient Number.
Clubhouse invites are sent through SMS, making it vital for you to check your recipient’s number before pressing the ‘invite’ button. Since most people don’t include the country code on their contacts, it is common for Clubhouse invites to be sent to the wrong person.
To avoid this, check your recipient’s number and make sure that you add their country code to your contacts list. If you fail to do this, the invite would be sent by default to a +1 country code, which is for US mobile numbers only.
3. Turn Off VPN.
When using Clubhouse app features, it is essential to have a stable internet connection since it is an online platform. If you are running a VPN on your device, turn it off if you’re having issues sending invites.
VPNs make changes to your IP address, which disrupts the flow of your network. As a result, your device may struggle to communicate with Clubhouse servers, and unexpected problems may occur.
On the other hand, you can try using other VPN services like PureVPN. Compared to other VPNs, it doesn’t disrupt your internet connection while protecting your data on the internet.
4. Check and Reset Your Internet.
If you’re not running any VPNs, the problem could lie with your network connection. A slow internet connection can cause all sorts of issues with online platforms like Clubhouse.
To check your network’s status, run a test using Fast.com to measure its current upload and download speed.
If the speed test indicates that your internet connection is running slow, restart your router to re-establish the link with your service provider’s servers.
Once done, perform another test to confirm if restarting your router helps improve the situation. If you continue to encounter your network problems, contact your ISP and ask them to address the issue with their service.
