I keep reading on articles, even those from this year, that Signal has an offline communications ability.

The articles talk about “Signal Offline” as an app. But that seems the same as the main Signal app?

Additionally, is there some functionality in Signal that allows you to connect with nearby users in the event when WiFi and cellular networks are down (like via some sort of a mesh network approach or Bluetooth)?

Edit: Thanks for the information to those who replied.

    If you’re talking about web pages like this, I have no idea whether this was made before or after AI, but it’s not true.

    Most mesh network apps are pretty straightforward when they’re available. The screenshots will resemble what’s actually in the app store.
