Have you ever wondered your text messages might be at risk? Text messages use server based peer-to-peer messaging technique, which means all your text messages are stored at a server’s database, which can be compromised and your identity can be leaked. Moreover, along with your identity your messages too are at risk.

According to BitTorrent, their new advent, Bleep will rule out the chances of such threats.

According to Farid Fadaie from BitTorrent “Since our open alpha release last September, a lot has happened in the private messaging space. Services have come and gone, some have been breached and patched, and in many cases, users have been left feeling violated, or at the very least, changed what they say or do online. There have been various costs involved, which we have to cut down. We’ve decided that one of those costs should not be your identity.”

The app also lets you to call, as does every other app, but what’s special here is no end-to-end encryption, yet it is safer.

Bleep also has a desktop version, so you can also access your messages on your Windows PC or a Mac laptop, along with the app on Android, iOS, and Windows phones. This is how the application’s interface on an Android phone looks like:
