Through BitChat App, you will be able to send messages to other users even without internet. This application has been developed with features like web3 and Bluetooth chat. It is also becoming a big competitor of WhatsApp. However, BitChat App is currently available only for iPhone users. It is being tested. Soon it will be made available to all users in the classic version.
The Bitchat messaging platform works entirely on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) network. It creates a local cluster of smartphones and shares encrypted messages from one device to another. It works on Bluetooth network. This means you do not need Wi-Fi or cellular network for messaging. This app is the best option during network down or no internet connection. Let’s get detailed information about it.
What is BitChat App?
BitChat App has been developed by Twitter (X) co-founder Jack Dorsey. It is a decentralized messaging app. It allows users to send messages even without internet. This application works on Bluetooth based peer to peer networking technology. Due to which users can send or receive direct messages from other Bluetooth enabled devices present nearby. Internet is not required for this. Which is also the biggest feature of this app.
How Does Bitchat Work?
- This application will send messages with Bluetooth on devices by doing 100% encryption.
- Its range is going to be around 100 m. However, Jack Dorsey has claimed a range of up to 300 meters.
- Wi-Fi support will also be added to it in the future.
- BitChat will send messages of two users directly to each other. No server works in between.
- Room feature will be given as a group in BitChat. Which will also be password protected.
- In terms of privacy, this platform will work like a torrent network.
- Messages sent from the Bitchat app are end-to-end encrypted. These messages are not stored in any server. They are saved in the user’s device. Along with this, they get deleted automatically at the scheduled time.
- There will also be no need for registration: To use this messaging platform, users do not need an email or phone number to register in any way.
BitChat Vs Whatsapp Which Is The Best Option
At present, WhatsApp’s dominance in terms of messaging remains intact. However, WhatsApp has always been accused of customer data security. In such a situation, BitChat can become a new and reliable messaging platform for the world. But it will work only in a limited range. Which will be its biggest weakness. Android users may have to wait a bit to use BitChat. Whereas iPhone users can download and use its test version through TestFlight.
