How do they download without Internet, I have a cousin currently working there.

Would it be possible to have audio calls over BLE mesh ?

The Ugandan government is now bitchat’s new marketing department lol

Any data on Iran?

Bitchat for the win! Allowing people to communicate with other humans regardless of internet access.

So that works kind of like you get sent a lot of messages that you store and distribute? Isn’t that very memory consuming?

Bitchat is a decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging app launched by Jack Dorsey in July 2025. It is designed to work without the internet, cellular service, or accounts. How it Works • Offline Mesh: Uses Bluetooth to send messages directly from phone to phone. Messages "hop" across nearby devices to extend range. • Nostr Integration: Uses the Nostr protocol as a fallback for global messaging when internet is available. • No Identity: No phone numbers or emails required; users are anonymous by default. • Resilience: Built for communication during internet blackouts, protests, or natural disasters. • Payments: Supports offline Bitcoin/Lightning payments via Cashu e-cash tokens.
