Jack Dorsey is back with something wild. He’s testing a new messaging app called Bitchat. The twist? It doesn’t need the internet.
This thing runs over Bluetooth mesh networks. That means phones connect directly to each other without servers. No accounts, no emails, no phone numbers needed.
It’s fully peer-to-peer and encrypted. Messages don’t live in the cloud. They’re stored in your phone’s memory, then vanish.
Big names like Meta run messaging apps that scoop your data. Bitchat flips that. It’s private and off-the-grid.
Want to message in a group? Use hashtags. Want security? Use passwords. Devices pass messages from phone to phone until they reach the target.
The range is about 30 meters. But messages can hop across devices, creating a giant chat mesh.
Bitchat also has a backup mode. If someone’s offline, your phone stores the message and forwards it later.
Plans are in the works to use WiFi next. That’ll let you send longer stuff faster.
Use cases? Think protests, blackouts, remote areas, or anywhere you don’t trust the network.
Jack says it’s like old-school IRC, but in your pocket. And with no strings attached.
