#Briar – new kid on the (messaging app) block - Review
This is more than just another #WhatsApp alternative. 

For once, this doesn't rely just on having an internet connection, but also sends and receives messages via WiFi and Bluetooth.

#briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate.
#introduction

Unlike traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn’t rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users’ devices. If the internet’s down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi... If the internet’s up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.

>#Briar requires face-to-face linking initially

Version 1.2 fixed that:

"This release allows users to add each other securely by exchanging links. Previously users needed to meet in person or ask a mutual contact to introduce them."

Would be so great if the Media would get the word out to the people in a “fair and balanced” way. We will win anyway, but they are a far more difficult adversary than their Radical Left Do Nothing Democrat Partner! twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/st #Trump
