I even used it while traveling with friends. We couldn’t have our seats together in the airplane and the capability to chat and shitpost over bluetooth securely was kinda nice without annoying everyone.
My biggest annoyance is the inability to migrate a profile and the existing chats across devices, even though that’s good security-wise.
I’ve used it for the exact same purpose, great minds think alike. It’s perfect for that scenario given there’s no internet.
I just don’t use it much otherwise because apps like Signal are far easier to move my friends and family on to and they’re more than good enough. The metadata privacy Tor would provide would give me a lot of peace of mind but I know it’ll never happen.
