Bitchat: Chatting will be possible without the internet! Jack Dorsey's new app 'Bitchat' will replace WhatsApp..

Send Push

Jack Dorsey has been the founder of companies like X and Block. He is once again making a splash in the world of technology. This time he has introduced an app that allows chatting without internet, without a mobile number, or an email. The name of this app is Bitchat. This app is a decentralized messaging system that works on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology.

What is Bitchat?

Bitchat is a mobile messaging app that works without the need for internet or a mobile network. It supports peer-to-peer messaging. This means that one mobile connects directly to another mobile and sends messages. This app is considered to be Jack Dorsey's weekend project, but its technology and concept have surprised everyone.

How does Bitchat work?

Bitchat creates a device-to-device connection through Bluetooth Mesh Network. This network works in a range of more than 300 meters.

Messages are sent through a multi-hop system, that is, if two devices are far apart, then the message is forwarded through the remaining mobile devices in between.

The message is stored in temporary memory on the user's device, and if the receiver is offline, the message is delivered later.

What is Bitchat's safety policy?

End-to-End Encryption: Data remains completely safe through Curve25519 + AES-GCM algorithm.

No Phone Number or Email Required: Neither a mobile number nor an email is required in this, that is, it is completely private.

No Server, No Central Control: There is no central server, so the app is censorship-free and completely safe from network blocking.

Message Storage System
Normal messages are automatically deleted after 12 hours. Favourite messages are saved for an unlimited time. If the receiver is not available, the app stores the message and then delivers it as soon as the network is found.

What are the features of Bitchat?

In this, you will get the chat room feature. Like Discord, there is a topic-based chat room. You will be able to mention any user in it. Apart from this, there are password-protected rooms for any private chat, the option to send messages without a network, and you will not need any account or ID to run it.

Where is Bitchat available right now?

At present, this app has been launched in a beta version for iOS users through Apple TestFlight. After beta access, it can also be brought to Android and other platforms in the near future.

Why will Bitchat be special?

This app will make it easy to send messages even if there is no network in an emergency. It can prove to be very good for disaster zones, protests, or personal conversations. It can be more private than platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram.
