WhatsApp: Messaging without internet, will this new app end WhatsApp's reign?

Till now, there was no instant messaging app to compete with WhatsApp, but some time ago, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey announced the messaging app Bitchat. Now this app is once again in the news, and the reason behind this is that the company has made this app available on the Apple App Store for Apple users.

WhatsApp vs Bitchat: What is the difference between the two?

The special thing about this app of Jack Dorsey is that you do not need the internet to chat through this app, that is, this app will work even without internet. This app will help the most when you are in an area where there is a network problem.

This app uses Bluetooth Low Energy, i.e., BLE Mesh Networking, which makes encrypted, peer-to-peer messaging possible and chatting without any Wi-Fi and mobile data. On the other hand, if we talk about WhatsApp, then you need the internet to run this app or send messages; you cannot chat without the internet.

No need for a number
The special thing about BitChat is that to use this app, the user does not need to register or give an email or phone number. Not only this, but this app is end-to-end encrypted like WhatsApp; messages are stored only on the user's device, and after some time, the messages get deleted automatically. On the other hand, an account is not created in WhatsApp without entering a phone number.

This amazing app by Jack Dorsey is an advanced messaging app that people will like. Many times, the internet is shut down by the government in emergency situations; at such times this app can help you in staying connected with each other.
