# Abit A Bitmessage client for Android. **Please be aware that due to the protocol, sending messages might suck your battery dry. Also, it causes a lot of traffic and may use up your data plan rather quickly. Use at your own peril.** Abit uses the [Jabit Bitmessage library](https://github.com/Dissem/Jabit). ## Requirements You'll need at least Android 4.4 KitKat. Due to the Proof of Work that comes with the protocol you might want as fast a processor and as many cores as you can get.
