About Sky Chat -
SkyChat helps you discover nearby people and chat in real time using Bluetooth and local-network peer-to-peer connections. Whether you’re traveling, commuting, or just meeting people around you, SkyChat makes it easy to start a conversation without relying on a chat-message server to deliver or store your messages. Key features: - Nearby discovery and direct chat with people around you - Send text messages, photos, and videos - Create and chat in groups - Secure peer-to-peer sessions (encrypted connections) How it works: - SkyChat uses Bluetooth and local network discovery to find nearby devices. - Messages are exchanged directly between devices in range. Accounts & subscription: - Sign in with Apple or Google to get started. - An auto-renewable subscription may be required to unlock the full SkyChat experience (billing and management handled by the App Store). Notes: - Bluetooth and Local Network access are required for nearby chat. - Use caution when chatting with people you don’t know—nearby users are not identity-verified.
What’s new
Version 2.0.1 · Updated June 17, 2026
Cross-platform messaging Photos and videos now send and receive reliably between different device platforms Fixed an issue where text messages would stop going through after sending a photo Videos now save with the correct file format Nearby peer devices are now correctly identified by platform Message moderation is now applied consistently across all connection types Reliability Bluetooth chunk size now adapts to the negotiated connection MTU, preventing silent message loss on lower-bandwidth links Bluetooth write queue now uses proper flow control to avoid dropped chunks under load Each network request now uses a fresh connection, eliminating a bug where a large upload could poison the socket for subsequent messages
