Verified contacts now show a seal in private chats. - A recent chats section keeps every private conversation within reach. - A banner tells you when Bluetooth is off or Tor is stalled. - Panic wipe now asks for confirmation and tells you when it's done. - On Mac, scan verification QR codes with the camera. @-mention suggestions now work from the keyboard. - Messages from someone who shares your name are no longer treated as your own. - Security hardening and fixes throughout, and the app is now fully localized in all 30 supported languages.

It works when little else does

Solid app for anonymous, location based group chats, especially when access to the Internet is either greatly limited or completely blocked. Highly recommend.

Very slick and powerful tool

I use this to chat with my family when we camp in remote areas. It works very well. I do wish somehow it could run in the background for relaying and receiving messages. iOS seems to stop the app from running after a few minutes of inactivity. I wish this technology was implemented directly into the messages App.

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.
