I'm looking for a Briar alternative (meaning no internet required) that will work cross platform with iOS and Android.

Does anyone know of one?

What about Session? It’s cross-platform and decentralized.

There’s also Simple X chat which is also cross-platform and foss.

You can send photos and files on both. There’s no need for email and phone to sign up. My friends and I like Session for it’s simplicity but my niece made everybody download Simple X because it’s “prettier”.

Don't these require an internet connection?

Bitchat or meshtastic, or both

Looks like it requires an internet connection. Please correct if I'm wrong.
