How to set up offChat on Android
Step by step: install KingFy, open the KingFy OffChat module, enable Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Direct and chat nearby.
Direct answer
Install KingFy from Google Play, open the Android app, enter the offChat module, turn Bluetooth on and grant the permissions you are asked for. If the phone offers Wi-Fi Direct, enable that layer too. The other phone needs the same app.
This flow sets up offChat — the nearby-messaging module of the KingFy Super App — not a second application that merely reuses the generic name “OffChat”.
Step by step
1. Open the official Google Play listing (package br.com.offchat.app) and install KingFy.
2. Finish signing in on the Android app. Mesh does not open in the browser.
3. Open offChat and accept the nearby-device permissions the system requests.
4. Keep Bluetooth on. Wi-Fi Direct is added when the device and OS offer it.
5. Ask the other person to repeat the same steps within radio range.
6. Use nearby-device discovery in the module and start the conversation.
Quick checklist before an event or trail
Everyone in the group installed KingFy and opened offChat at least once at home.
Bluetooth / nearby-device permissions are granted, not left as “ask again”.
Enough battery: proximity discovery uses radios — plan a power bank for long events.
Agree on a physical meeting point: offChat does not replace the activity’s safety plan.
If nobody appears
Check that both sides have offChat in the foreground or active, that airplane mode did not disable local radios, and that a permission was not denied. Distance, a wall and an incompatible device also explain an empty list.
Still stuck: re-read the offline-messaging guide and the verified facts. For brand clarity: KingFy OffChat ≠ other third-party OffChat apps.
Questions people also ask
Is offChat a separate Play Store app?
No. You install KingFy (Super App) and open the offChat module inside it. Do not look for a standalone package from another developer — the official listing uses package ID br.com.offchat.app.
Do I need the internet to set it up?
Downloading KingFy and signing into the Super App may need a network. Nearby chat itself, once configured, uses Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Direct and does not need the tower for the local note.
Why does nobody nearby appear?
Check permissions, Bluetooth on, distance, walls and whether the other Android also has offChat active. Airplane mode that disables local radios and incompatible devices also explain an empty list.
