Jack Dorsey has unveiled an experimental messaging app designed to work completely off grid, removing the need for internet service or mobile towers. The app, called Bitchat, creates a local mesh network using Bluetooth, allowing messages to pass from one phone to another nearby. Instead of relying on central servers, communication travels directly between devices, making it usable even in remote areas or during network outages.
All messages are encrypted and stored only on the user’s device, with no accounts, phone numbers, or personal data required. The system is built around privacy and independence, offering a way to stay connected during disasters, shutdowns, or in places with no signal. The project reflects a growing shift toward decentralized communication as people look for alternatives to traditional, platform controlled networks.
