Jack Dorsey, the co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, has unveiled Bitchat, a new experimental messaging application that operates entirely over Bluetooth mesh networks, eliminating the need for internet, servers, SIM cards, phone numbers, or even email addresses.
This move marks another major step in Dorsey’s longstanding push for decentralized, privacy-preserving, and censorship-resistant technologies, following his support of platforms like Damus and Bluesky.
The app is now live in beta on TestFlight, a test version released to try out new features and fix any issues before the full app is officially launched.
