Internet is not available everywhere in the world and there are some times where we have no internet or network connection.

Eg-> natural disasters, military conditions, while traveling in flights, while camping, internal events, civil protest etc.

In such cases we have to communicate using something else. That where you need Bridgefy app. Bridgefy is an offline app for Android and IOS that can be replaced Whatsapp. After the whatsapp policy crisis a large number of users moved to Bridgefy. It is enabled to communicate with family and friends without internet connection. It is using Bluetooth technology to connect with each other.
