Common queries we have received about download, installation and usage of the app.
Is this a free to use app?
Yes. This is an application that is totally free to use. It is open source, and you can make changes yourself too.
Can I use this app without internet access?
Yes. That is the whole point of this platform. It works entirely offline using Bluetooth connection.
How far can my messages go?
As a single device has a Bluetooth range of 30 to 100 meters, this app relies on this distance, and when the receiver’s device is out of this range, it uses the hopping mechanism until it reaches the destination.
Is BitChat safe from hackers?
Yes. It is a very safe option. The messages are end-to-end encrypted, and the platform utilizes forward secrecy, which means there is no way to decrypt past messages.
