Why do we need BitChat? | Secure Bluetooth Messaging Without Internet

Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X), has launched a new messaging app called BitChat. But why another app in such a crowded space? The answer lies in how BitChat works—and how it’s different from WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal. Unlike traditional apps, BitChat doesn’t need servers or even an internet connection.
