Bleep, BitTorrent’s private messaging application, is now available for iOS. It has been published to Apple’s App Store today, May 13, 2015.

Now that Bleep is available for iOS, it means that the application is now publicly available for all major platforms: Microsoft’s Windows, Apple’s Mac OS X and iOS, Google’s Android.

Bleep, BitTorrent’s peer-to-peer chat client that lets you securely communicate over text and voice, has been rolled out to Apple’s App Store. It is compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. If you have an iDevice powered by iOS 8.0 or newer, you can get the app and use it to communicate via text, free voice calls, or whispers.

Bleep for iOS – Main Features

• Messaging – send and receive online and offline messages.
• Images – send and receive online and offline images.
• Voice calls – place calls to other Bleep users, receive calls from other Bleep users. Calls use your WiFi or data connection.
• Whispers – whisper messages will be automatically deleted after they’ve been viewed. If someone takes a screenshot of a whisper message, Bleep will blur the nicknames or the messages.
• Privacy – Bleep uses a peer-to-peer (P2P) encrypted connection to transfer data. This means your messages won’t be stored in the cloud or on some server. And since messages are sent over an encrypted network, no one will be able to intercept them and snoop on you. Furthermore, BitTorrent doesn’t see your messages or metadata.
• Contacts – import contacts from your address book, invite friends via email or SMS, share your Bleep key so that others can contact you.

You can sign up with your email or mobile number to get started with Bleep. But BitTorrent’s Bleep is all about privacy, remember? So if you don’t feel comfortable disclosing your email and mobile number, you can create an incognito account. This means that you need only pick a nickname to get started with Bleep.

Speaking about nicknames, I mentioned above that when someone takes a screenshot of a whisper, Bleep will blur the nicknames or the messages. If that someone takes a screenshot, Bleep will blur the sender's nickname; the screenshot will capture what's been said, but not who said it. To reveal the sender's nickname, that someone must tap on the eye icon. When the sender's nickname is revealed, Bleep blurs the messages. The screenshot will capture the nickname, but not the conversion.

This application is called Bleep because BitTorrent doesn't see your messages or metadata. “As far as we’re concerned, anything you say is ‘bleep’ to us,” explained Jaehee Lee, Senior Product Manager at BitTorrent. Before being called Bleep, the application used to be called BitTorrent Chat.
