How To Use The Bridgefy Offline Messaging App

The Bridgefy offline messaging app works similarly to other messaging apps, except you can also use it without Internet and phone services (SMS)! Click to download for Android or for iOS.

The Bridgefy app is incredibly easy to use: all you have to do is turn on Bluetooth, open it, and you’re set! You’re then able to send text messages to all other Bridgefy users within a 330 feet or 100 meter range.

It’s important to note that you do need to be connected to the Internet, but only the very first time you open the app. We use this Internet connection to activate the magic software that makes the app work. You won’t ever need to have an Internet connection after this first time! You can even place your phone on airplane mode, turn on Bluetooth, and start using the app.

In summary, these are the quick steps to use the Bridgefy app:

1. Connect to the Internet (only the first time you use the app. If you’ve already been over this, skip this step)
2. Turn Bluetooth on
3. Open the app
4. Go to the Broadcast tab, and start sharing messages with people nearby

Remember to make sure your friends download the app too!
