Twitter Co-Founder Is Building A New Messenger App That Works Without Internet

Bitchat is a new messaging app created by Jack Dorsey, one of the co-founders of Twitter. What makes it different from apps like WhatsApp or Telegram is that the app doesn’t need the internet, mobile data, a central server, or even a phone number to work. Instead, it uses Bluetooth and a mesh network, so your phone connects directly with nearby phones to send messages.
The main idea behind Bitchat is privacy & keeping your conversations private. Messages are encrypted using strong protocols, and there’s even a “panic mode” that wipes all your data instantly if you ever need it. For group chats, you can create private, password-protected rooms and control them using simple commands.
Bitchat doesn’t use any central servers, your messages stay only on your device and they will be disappeared after a short time. You don’t have to create an account with your phone number or email, and no personal information is linked to your account. The whole goal is to keep everything as private and secure as possible.
Bitchat is built for moments when the internet goes down or when you simply don’t want to rely on big tech to communicate. It’s perfect for emergency situations, internet shutdowns, or places with no signal.
