Since inception, Twitter has made several developments on the feature that was a clone of audio-based app, Clubhouse. While the latter was invite-only at first, Twitter Spaces was available, allowing users to join even though they could not host.

As a result, Spaces has soared in popularity, even in Kenya where several conversations are held via the audio-feature on a daily basis. Topics range from politics, lifestyle, awareness and now even corporate bodies are using as a medium to connect with their audience.

Most recently, Twitter started piloting ticketed Spaces, allowing hosts to charge a fee for users to join their discussions. Hosts are also now able to add co-hosts and up to 10 speakers
