I could see a this being useful in Gaza, where if the Isreal just turned off internet to them (which they do). They could still pass on the message even in total blackout.

Idk about security though. Pretty sure IDF/mossad probably already know how to crack the encryption since US/Europe are giving them free military intelligence on everything anyway.

If they're so obsessed with protecting their identity, they should ditch electronic devices and use paper and pencil. Write by hand and burn the paper afterward. Also, it seems like this app only works in densely populated city centers because it needs a lot of people around to create a stable Bluetooth network, otherwise your message might get stranded in a middle of nowhere, and won't get delivered in a year. Further, we never know if there's a malicious program on your phone that secretly monitors your keyboard activity or your entire screen (which I bet there's a lot of apps already doing so). What about the IMEI number? Can they guarantee the IMEI isn't embedded in the Bluetooth message somehow?

The new chat app is designed to transmit messages via Bluetooth, and not over the internet. Thereby, bitchat aims to protect user privacy as it works without a SIM card or even Wi-Fi connection.
