Bitchat is a new messaging app created by Jack Dorsey, enabling communication via Bluetooth mesh networks without requiring Wi-Fi or cellular data. Designed primarily for situations with limited connectivity, it reportedly extends the effective range of Bluetooth messaging up to 300 meters. Both Bitchat and another Bluetooth messaging app, Bridgefy, provide end-to-end encryption for enhanced security. Dorsey has opened Bitchat for beta testing and reached the maximum capacity of 10,000 users, with the app currently under review prior to its official release.
Bitchat is a messaging app that operates through Bluetooth mesh networks, allowing users to send messages without Wi-Fi or cell reception, extending message range to 300 meters.
Due to Bluetooth's limitations, most apps work at around 100 meters, making Bitchat especially useful in areas with spotty cell service, like busy music festivals.
Bitchat and Bridgefy, another Bluetooth messaging app, both offer end-to-end encryption, providing privacy and security for users, particularly valued during protests.
Dorsey launched Bitchat for beta testing through Apple's Testflight, reaching its 10,000-user cap, and noted the app is still under review before public release.
