How to Use the Walkie Talkie Feature on Your Apple Watch
Between phone calls and text messages, you’d think yoυ have enough ways to communicate almost instantly. However, the Walkie-Talkie app on Apple Watch makes conversing with someone easier if you’re in a loud or crowded location or unable to type a text.
The app is reminiscent of those walkie-talkies we had as kids or the two-way radios used by law enforcement today. Hold the button to speak your message and release the button to listen. For a convenient and immediate way to talk with friends or family, here’s how to use Walkie-Talkie on Apple Watch.

- The FaceTime app set up and turned on with iPhone running iOS 12.4 or later
- You reside in a country or region where Walkie-Talkie is available
The Walkie-Talkie Apple Watch app uses a cellular connection or Wi-Fi.

If your Apple Watch is running watchOS 5.3 or later, you should have the Walkie-Talkie app installed by default. It was one of the new features introduced with watchOS 5.
If you removed the app from your Watch and want it back, you can redownload it.

- Use the Search box at the top to enter or dictate “Walkie Talkie.”
- Tap Get or the cloud icon to download and install the app for free.

- Select Add Friends.
- Choose the friend you want to add from your contact list.
Choosing your friend sends them an invitation right away. The contact’s card display is dimmed in the Walkie-Talkie app until they accept.

Once your contact accepts the invitation, their card turns yellow.
Accept a Walkie-Talkie Invitation
