Cofounder of Twitter Jack Dorsey has introduced BitChat, a decentralised messaging program that functions without a phone number, internet, or even mobile data. Peertopeer encrypted messaging is made possible by BitChat, which is based on Bluetooth Low Energy BLE mesh networks. It is perfect for use in remote locations, during protests, and during network failures because it relays messages between nearby devices. To improve privacy and anonymity, the software doesnt require registration, saves communications locally, and then automatically removes them after a brief period of time. Now in beta through Apples TestFlight, it rapidly reached its 10,000 user cap. "Weekend project" is how Dorsey characterised it, examining mesh networks and encryption techniques.
