Use Briar

I can see a use case for sending files from phone to phone, but wouldn’t you just talk to someone if you’re that close?
Also, I wonder what the theoretical range is? How many relay points will a message go through?

I can answer a couple of those questions. It will go through up to seven devices and with Bluetooth maximum range of 300 meters you can get 6,800 feet or around 1.2 miles at maximum.
Mind you, that would be with everything perfectly done, so it most likely won’t be that far.

So the other person would need to be in the same venue as you, or possibly the next building over?
There’s a very narrow use case for this, from what I can tell.

Reminder that this is the same app that a few weeks ago was found to be advertised as secure when it was still experimental and without being audited, and for which multiple serious vulnerabilities were found before they added the disclaimer saying it was experimental:

It was very clearly advertised as experimental and insecure.

As the TechCrunch article I shared says, that warning was added only after the multiple vulnerabilities listed were found and publicised, and the original article in this post didn’t mention the vulnerabilities either.
