> The big problem with things like Briar is that you can't install it after the internet has been turned off AND it is already unpopular

Sideloading an .apk is supported in all Android versions, right? Even without internet access? Is something more needed to install Briar?

Sure, but this doesn't really scale very well. Distributing those APKs without internet access is pretty hard.

    Briar already has this built in via the "Share this app offline" feature. It starts a wifi hotspot from which people can download the apk.

      Also Fdroid has support for local distribution and discovery for offline scenarios.
