Bridgefy: Messaging Without the Internet
Bridgefy lets you send messages when there is no Internet. Use it at concerts, sports events, on trips, or during emergencies to stay in touch with the people around you. More than 12.5 million people worldwide already use Bridgefy to stay connected when it matters most.
Key Features:
Offline Messaging: Use Bluetooth to send messages to people nearby (up to 330 feet or 100 meters).
No Contacts Needed: You don’t need to add contacts—just start chatting with nearby Bridgefy users.
Private Chats: Send private messages after interacting in the Public Chat—tap on someone’s avatar to start a one-on-one conversation.
How to Get Started:
1. Turn on Bluetooth.
2. Open Bridgefy with an active Internet connection (this is required only the first time to activate the app).
3. Once activated, go to the Public Chat to message people nearby.
4. Tap on someone’s avatar if you want to send them private messages.
Note: Public Chat messages are visible to everyone nearby also using Bridgefy.
