Common questions

Does OffChat need internet or a SIM card?

No. Phones talk directly over Bluetooth, and fast Wi-Fi connections between phones speed up photos and voice messages while the app is open. You only need internet once, to download the app.

How do messages reach people further away?

Every phone running OffChat can pass messages on, so a message can hop through other phones nearby to reach a friend you can't reach directly. Messages to friends out of range are sent when they come back.

Who can see where I am?

Only a friend you choose, and only the direction and distance, never a map. You can stop sharing at any time.

Can Android phones and iPhones chat with each other?

Yes. OffChat for Android is coming to Google Play, and it chats with OffChat on iPhone.

Is it free?

Yes. Chatting is free, with five free Find Friend searches. OffChat Plus is a one-time purchase with unlimited searches and more. There is no subscription and there are no ads.

Can OffChat call for help?

“I need help” sends a message and your location to your friends. OffChat doesn't contact emergency services: in an emergency, call your local emergency number.
