I switched from a popular encrypted app to a smaller one after a friend in Hong Kong got flagged.

I chose a smaller, open-source app called Briar over a bigger one because it works offline with Bluetooth, and it's been solid for my weekly chats with my cousin in a place with spotty internet.

Briar is the real deal for that kind of situation. Honestly, my friend and I tested it out in a parking garage, and the Bluetooth chat worked when our regular texts just died. It feels like we're secret agents passing notes.

Keep a power bank handy for longer outages.
