What's New in bitchat mesh

1.7.1

July 31, 2026

bitchat 1.7.1 is a security and reliability release. - private photos and voice notes are now encrypted before they travel over bluetooth - stronger identity verification during encrypted handshakes stops impersonation - identity keys are now bound to this device and never sync or transfer — a seized backup or cloned storage no longer yields your keys. your identity stays with the device: switching phones or reinstalling starts fresh - panic wipe is faster, more thorough, and behaves the same every time - a locked phone gives away less - direct messages reliably survive reconnects, bluetooth toggles, and app restarts - persian localization (فارسی) and an in-app language picker - verified badge next to names you've verified; blocked people no longer appear in @-mention suggestions

Great app!

Been using this app frequently and noticed 2 things, first when I use the app switcher and then bring the app to foreground it freezes. Also there aren’t any notifications when I receive a message - this could be implemented for favourited contacts

FAQ

What does bitchat mesh do?

bitchat mesh allows you to chat with people around you using Bluetooth mesh technology. It creates a decentralized network where messages can be relayed to extend the communication range, all without needing an internet connection or personal contact details like phone numbers or emails.

How does the messaging work without internet?

The app utilizes Bluetooth mesh networking. This means devices can connect directly to each other and relay messages, forming a network that doesn't rely on traditional internet infrastructure. This enables communication even in areas with no Wi-Fi or cellular service.

Are the messages private?

Yes, all messages sent through bitchat mesh are encrypted and private. This ensures that your conversations remain secure and confidential between the participants in the chat.

What are the use cases for this app?

This app is perfect for local group chats at events, festivals, or in situations where internet access is unreliable or unavailable. It's also useful for creating temporary, private communication channels among people in close proximity without the need to exchange personal information.
