- Jess Weatherbed
- is a news writer focused on creative industries, computing, and internet culture. Jess started her career at TechRadar, covering news and hardware reviews.
- Twitter co-founder and
- Block Head Jack Dorsey
- launched a new peer-to-peer messaging app over the weekend called Bitchat that runs entirely over Bluetooth. Bitchat relies on Bluetooth Low Energy mesh networks to send encrypted communications directly to nearby devices without requiring internet or cellular service.
- βBitchat addresses the need for resilient, private communication that doesnβt depend on centralized infrastructure,β according to a
- white paper published on Dorseyβs Github page
- . βBy leveraging Bluetooth Low Energy mesh networking, Bitchat enables direct peer-to-peer messaging within physical proximity, with automatic message relay extending the effective range beyond direct Bluetooth connections.β
- Images of the app posted by Dorsey
- also show that Bitchat operates without accounts, servers, or data collection, and includes privacy features like password-protected channels and a βPanic Modeβ that instantly clears all data when the logo is triple-tapped.
- Similar Bluetooth-based messaging apps like
- Bridgefy
- and the
- now-defunct FireChat
- have notably been used by
- pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong
- over the last decade because theyβre harder for Chinese authorities to trace or block. While Bridgefy says it can send messages over a distance of 100 meters (330 feet), Bitchat offers a range of more than 300 meters (984 feet), with future updates planned that will allow users to increase speed and range via Wi-Fi Direct.
- Bitchat is available to beta testers via Apple TestFlight, but TestFlight is currently full after
- reaching its maximum 10,000-user capacity
- . Dorsey says the app is still undergoing review ahead of its full release.
