During the Nepal Gen-Z revolution, some people downloaded VPNs to bypass government firewalls. Some people used the Bitchat messaging app created by Jack Dorsey.
Bitchat was launched in the year 2025 and it is an offline text messaging app. That is, the Bitchat app works without internet.
BitChat app actually works on Bluetooth based network. This app creates a network with the help of mobile's Bluetooth and works on it.
The BitChat app is described as a secure messaging app that works on end-to-end encryption. In such a case, the message is decrypted only between the sender and the recipient.
During the Nepal Gen-Z revolution, protesters feared internet shutdowns so they resorted to the Bichat app.
The BitChat app is different from WhatsApp or Telegram. It is not based on SIM card or email address. It uses handles like X (formerly Twitter).
In the BitChat app, you can create rooms to chat on a specific topic. No one can monitor it.
BitChat works over the Bluetooth network. The message stays on the network until it reaches the recipient.
