What I have noticed about bitchat that seems suspicious. When I use a vpn set to foreign countries, even if I turn off my cellular service it still picks up my actual location. So I thought maybe it’s using my internet service to figure out my location. I turned off my WiFi and used cellular and it still shows where I am, not the vpn location. Can someone explain how this works? I thought the VPN would block my location.

A VPN changed your IP address. This hides your location if a site uses IP to locate.

Bitchat uses GPS/Bluetooth for location so VPN does nothing unless you spoof GPS coordinates as well.
