Jack Dorsey’s Bluetooth messaging app Bitchat now on App Store

Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, has launched a new Bluetooth messaging app called Bitchat, which is now available on the App Store. The app claims to offer secure and private communication, allowing users to send messages without relying on internet connectivity. However, security researchers have raised concerns about Bitchat's privacy claims. They have highlighted the need for independent security audits to verify the app's encryption and privacy measures. Bitchat's reliance on Bluetooth technology has also raised questions about the potential for signal interference and limited range compared to internet-based messaging apps. Despite these concerns, Bitchat's launch represents Dorsey's continued interest in exploring alternative communication platforms, particularly those focused on privacy and decentralization. The app's availability on the App Store will allow users to assess its functionality and security features for themselves, though further scrutiny from security experts is likely to continue.
