Check out this next article for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/whatsapp-alternatives\/\">more mobile chat apps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/team-chat-tools\/\">Chat applications<\/a> are a dime a dozen, covering almost any conceivable niche you could think off. But so far there hasn\u2019t been a chat app that <strong>focuses on local<\/strong><strong>, \u201coff-the-grid\u201d communication<\/strong>. Such an application would let you <strong>chat with nearby people<\/strong> at sports events, concerts and the like <strong>without exposing your identity<\/strong> and <strong>without needing to be on the same Wi-Fi network<\/strong>. <strong>Firechat<\/strong> is here to fill that gap.<\/p>\n<p>Firechat is an <strong>offline and anonymous<\/strong> chat application that runs on both <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.firechat.app&hl=en_SG&gl=US\">Android<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/firechatapp\/id1238153246\">iOS<\/a>. Firechat is built on the developers\u2019 own mesh network technology (as well as iOS 7\u2019s Multipeer Connectivity Framework), letting you <strong>chat with nearby users without needing an Internet connection of any sort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/whatsapp-alternatives\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 10 WhatsApp Alternatives to Try (Updated)\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">10 WhatsApp Alternatives to Try (Updated)<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/whatsapp-alternatives.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-16401 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/whatsapp-alternatives.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">10 WhatsApp Alternatives to Try (Updated)<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNot a fan of WhatsApp? Check out free messaging apps that work across iOS, Android, and more.\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Firechat is available for both Android and iOS. Note that Firechat <strong>requires iOS7 and above<\/strong>, and should work without any issues on most <strong>Android devices less than 2 years old<\/strong>. We\u2019ll be looking at the Android version in this article, but the two versions are almost identical in terms of interface.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting started With Firechat<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve downloaded the app and installed it, just sign in by <strong>providing your preferred username<\/strong>. No extra information is needed.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/local-offline-messaging-firechat\/firechat-sign-in.jpg\" alt=\"Sign In\" height=\"417\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Firechat Features<\/h2>\n<p>Firechat has <strong>two different chat modes<\/strong>, accessible from the main interface.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone\u201d is a global chat mode that lets you chat with up <strong>to 80 randomly selected users from the same country<\/strong>, and requires an Internet connection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNearby\u201d is the local, off-the-grid messaging option. The range for off-the-grid messaging differs according to platform: <strong>30 feet for Android<\/strong> and <strong>100 feet for iOS<\/strong>. However, the Android version supports Open Garden\u2019s multi-hop mesh network, so the <strong>range will increase with the number of users<\/strong> using the app (this feature will come soon for the iOS version).<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/local-offline-messaging-firechat\/firechat-messaging.jpg\" alt=\"Messaging\" height=\"417\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>Like most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/whatsapp-viber-wechat-comparison\/\">messaging apps<\/a>, you can <strong>send both images and text<\/strong> to other users (although it looks like the Android version doesn\u2019t have support for sending images just yet).<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a Settings screen accessible from the upper right corner of the interface in the Android version. You can <strong>change your display name<\/strong>, choose whether you get notifications for <strong>Nearby Messages<\/strong>, and <strong>Tell a Friend<\/strong>, which opens up the standard Android Share with friends menu. The Share option on the chat screen does the same thing.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/local-offline-messaging-firechat\/firechat-settings-and-sharing.jpg\" alt=\"Settings And Sharing\" height=\"417\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Limitations<\/h2>\n<p>One thing to bear in mind is that the two versions are <strong>not (yet) compatible in offline mode<\/strong>. However, the developers are confident that they will be able to bring inter-platform messaging to Firechat eventually.<\/p>\n<p>Firechat is a somewhat <strong>barebones chat application<\/strong>, but the novel focus on local, off-the-grid messaging should make it popular for a certain subset of users, particularly those looking to <strong>communicate with fellow attendees<\/strong> at sporting events, concerts and the like.<\/p>\n<p>The big thing with Firechat, though, is <strong>the potential it shows<\/strong>. After all, if <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/cloud\/why-google-is-working-on-home-mesh-networking.html\">Google\u2019s interest<\/a> is anything to go by, mesh networks might just be the thing of the future.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update: Firechat is no longer available.
