Clubhouse, the exclusive, hyped chat app, changes invite procedure

Users generally don’t like it when an app asks you to give it access to your entire address book of contacts. The much-hyped invite-only audio chat app Clubhouse has apparently recognised this and has changed its approach.

Until now, if you wanted to invite someone to Clubhouse (still the only way for new users to sign up), you needed to open up your collection of contacts to the app.
