What is Gap Mesh? Gap (chat in Farsi/Persian) Mesh is a messaging app that works without the internet. It connects your phone directly to nearby phones using Bluetooth, creating a "mesh network" – like a chain of people passing messages to each other. Why Use Gap Mesh? - No internet needed – Chat when there's no Wi-Fi or mobile data - No phone number required – Stay anonymous - No accounts – Just install and start chatting - Private & secure – Your private messages are encrypted - Works anywhere – Protests, remote areas, emergencies, or just with friends nearby - Cross-compatible with Bitchat and the same back-end mesh apps - Emergency wipe and decoy mode with triple-tapping - Alternative icons - Live Activity support to see the connection status with a mesh network or geohash channel. Two Ways to Chat Gap Mesh offers two types of chat: Mesh Chat (Offline Mode) - Works without internet - Uses Bluetooth to connect with nearby devices - Messages hop from phone to phone (up to 7 hops) - Best for: Local groups, protests, emergencies, remote areas How to use: Just open the app and start chatting! You'll automatically connect with anyone else running Gap Mesh within Bluetooth range. Location Channels (Online Mode) - Requires an internet connection - Chat with people in your geographic area - Channels are based on your location (block, neighborhood, city, province, region) - Best for: Finding people in your area, local community discussions --- گپ مش چیست؟ گپ (گپ به فارسی/فارسی) مش یک برنامه پیامرسان است که بدون اینترنت کار میکند. این برنامه تلفن شما را مستقیماً با استفاده از بلوتوث به تلفنهای اطراف متصل میکند و یک "شبکه مش" ایجاد میکند - مانند زنجیرهای از افراد که به یکدیگر پیام میدهند. چرا از گپ مش استفاده کنیم؟ - بدون نیاز به اینترنت - چت در مواقع عدم اتصال به وایفای یا داده تلفن همراه - بدون نیاز به شماره تلفن - ناشناس بمانید - بدون نیاز به حساب کاربری - فقط نصب کنید و شروع به چت کنید - خصوصی و امن - پیامهای خصوصی شما رمزگذاری میشوند - در هر مکانی کار میکند - اعتراضات، مناطق دورافتاده، موارد اضطراری یا فقط با دوستان نزدیک - سازگار با بیتچت و همان برنامههای مش پشتیبان - حالت پاک کردن اضطراری و فریب با سه بار ضربه زدن - آیکونهای جایگزین - پشتیبانی از فعالیت زنده برای مشاهده وضعیت اتصال با یک شبکه مش یا کانال geohash. دو روش برای چت گپ مش دو نوع چت ارائه میدهد: چت مش (حالت آفلاین) - بدون اینترنت کار میکند - از بلوتوث برای اتصال به دستگاههای نزدیک استفاده میکند - پیامها از تلفنی به تلفن دیگر منتقل میشوند (تا 7 پرش) - بهترین برای: گروههای محلی، اعتراضات، موارد اضطراری، مناطق دورافتاده نحوه استفاده: فقط برنامه را باز کنید و شروع به چت کنید! شما به طور خودکار با هر کسی که گپ مش را در محدوده بلوتوث اجرا میکند، ارتباط برقرار خواهید کرد. کانالهای موقعیت مکانی (حالت آنلاین) - نیاز به اتصال به اینترنت - چت با افراد در منطقه جغرافیایی شما - کانالها بر اساس موقعیت مکانی شما (بلوک، محله، شهر، استان، منطقه) هستند - بهترین برای: پیدا کردن افراد در منطقه شما، بحثهای جامعه محلی
